The United Nations and partners are calling for renewed attention to the Millennium Development Goals as the target date for their achievement approaches. Friday, 5 April 2013 kicks off the countdown of the last 1,000 days.
UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is marking this milestone with a variety of activities to amplify awareness and accelerate action on the MDGs. The Fund will draw particular attention to MDG5: to improve maternal health and universal access to reproductive health. It is the goal that lags most behind:
As part of these activities, UNFPA will join the United Nations Foundations and other development partners around the world in the Momentum 1000 social media rally— 1,000 consecutive minutes of digital engagement to amplify the MDG messages.
UNFPA will also be working with other United Nations agencies to build on the MDG Momentum – 1,000 Days of Action, highlighting the achievements of the MDGs as well as the need to accelerate action in the next 1000 days and beyond.
Join UNFPA and help build more #MDGMomentum.
