Including the Millennium Development Goals

Euforic.org is a non-profit service dedicated to spreading and sharing voices, ideas and information on Europe's International Cooperation. Euforic.org helps audiences communicate and share their voices. Our users find, enjoy, and share videos about the people, issues, and ideas on international cooperation. We gather a collection of opinions, news, video and research publications drawn from policymakers, international organisations, universities, think tanks and conferences dealing with international cooperation issues. We present this content free for anyone to watch, interact with, and share. With our community of users and an extensive, growing library of information, Euforic.org is contributing to the Europe's special role in poverty reduction and Millennium Development Goals as defined in European Consensus on Development. Euforic.org is hosted by European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI). For more information contact: info@euforic.org

From the site: We know what needs to be done, so let's do it and do it together. Therein lies one challenge. Look around the room. Where are the foundations, nongovernmental organizations (NGO), religious organizations and corporations? They are critical partners in reducing poverty and improving people's lives. But their voices and views are not well represented at this official roundtable. Development requires decisive governmental action: governmental leaders must keep their promises. But development is not solely a governmental task.

One of the original global voices speaking about Millennium Development Goal 7 Environmental Sustainability will be highlighted in another Bloggers Unite event
