Eveline Herfkens, coordinatrice delle Nazioni Unite per i MDGs (Millenium development goals) dichiara: "Gli Obiettivi del millennio possono essere raggiunti ma all’Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite dell’anno prossimo l'Unione europea deve presentare politiche quantomeno sorprendenti". "I paesi membri dell’Unione europea si sono impegnati a raggiungere - entro il 2006 - almeno lo 0,33% dell’1,7% (del PIL in aiuti allo sviluppo)" - ha dichiarato Herfkens a IPS. "Spero vogliano assumersi un ulteriore impegno, per esempio puntando allo 0,5% entro il 2007 e - perché no - a raggiungere lo 0,7% entro il 2012". Una mossa che "costringerebbe gli Stati Uniti all’autocritica, obbligandoli a seguire le politiche europee".

Apesar de todos os países da América Latina terem assinado o tratado internacional – de garantia de direitos a essa população –, a situação dos meninos e meninas da região ainda é de risco social. “Na América Latina 58% das crianças menores de 5 anos são pobres e 190 mil crianças morrem ao ano vítimas de enfermidades ligadas à pobreza”, revelou Bernardo Kliksberg, coordenador geral da Iniciativa Interamericana de Capital Social, Ética e Desenvolvimento do Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento (BID). A afirmação foi feita recentemente durante a conferência Porque a ética é importante para o desenvolvimento, organizada pela Banco Central da Venezuela.

"Con i tagli della legge finanziaria non riusciremo a destinare alla cooperazione lo 0,33% del Pil programmato e dare al Global Fund per la cura dell'Aids i 250 milioni promessi". Lo dice sconsolato Gianni Ghisi, coordinatore della Direzione Generale Cooperazione e Sviluppo del Ministero degli Esteri. "Nel 2004 non c'è più nemmeno un euro" - denuncia Marelli, presidente dell'Associazione delle Ong italiane. Eppure nei giorni scorsi, il ministro per i Rapporti col Parlamento, Carlo Giovanardi aveva sottolineato alla Camera che con il decreto ministeriale del 6 ottobre 2004, il governo italiano avrebbe assicurato i 100 milioni di euro per il Fondo mondiale su Aids, Tbc e malaria.
