Abstract
Broad-based global economic growth in
2006, and more generally since 2000, provides grounds for
optimism about progress in advancing the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs). The 2007 Global Monitoring Report
(GMR) takes stock of this progress and assesses the
contributions of developing countries, donor nations, and
the international financial institutions toward meeting
commitments under the 2002 Monterrey consensus. This fourth
annual GMR finds both areas of progress and gaps where far
greater effort is required. The GMR highlights two areas
that require greater international attention: gender
equality and fragile states. Risks from failure to advance
multilateral trade liberalization and expand market access
are also highlighted. To address these risks and advance
the MDG agenda there is a pressing need for better aid
coordination to strengthen aid quality and scale-up assistance.
