As the global community accelerates the drive to reach the Millennium Development Goals, it faces an historic opportunity. With the review of the Millennium Summit in 2005 and following a series of groundbreaking UN reports, now is the time to strike a grand bargain that will ensure global prosperity and a safer world for all. The MDG agenda of halving extreme poverty by 2015 may be ambitious, but it is within reach, offering the clearest roadmap for an increasingly interconnected future. UNDP's 2005 Annual Report chronicles what UNDP, on the ground in 166 countries, does to help achieve the MDGs. The report demonstrates how our extensive internal reform has left us better positioned than ever before in supporting countries on MDG basics: developing capacity, sharing knowledge, working in partnerships and advocating the case for change.
