It is pertinent to remember that for achieving MDGs one must
be guided by the past experiences and the lessons learned. The
donor agencies play vital role through their programs and projects
in supporting the government efforts in meeting the MDGs challenges.
The donors have recently evaluated the effectiveness of their
programs and projects in Pakistan in order to guide them in
developing their future country assistance strategies and plans.
NRB's Chairman Mr. Danial Aziz deserves lot of appreciation
for hosting an International Conference on Millennium Development
Goals. The conference was jointly organized and sponsored by
the Government of Japan, World Bank Institute and UNDP. Besides
number of foreign delegates the two-day conference was largely
attended by the top government functionaries to the elected
officials of the ongoing District Government System. Well researched
papers and brain storming speeches were delivered on the occasion.
It was a well organized and well thought out timely action for
reminding and re-awakening the nation to wakeup and strive for
Millennium Development Goals. The nation is very much capable
of accepting challenges and facing them with determination.
From this forum we feel it fit to demand that such kind of gathering
may be arranged on provincial and district headquarters in order
to motivate our elected officials and the intelligentsia at
large to get positive results. Mr. Danial Aziz
possesses potential and power to do so.
