Today, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will address the Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, Republic of Korea. A united front from the international community needs to happen if the Millennium Development Goals are to be reached. The forum will be in process until Thursday to discuss the effectiveness of aid and how it is vital for those who are desperately in need. The forum will focus on how aid will be delivered, how MGDs will be achieved, and measures to help reduce maternal mortality and severe poverty. It is known that a worldwide economic crisis is underway, but by no means is it an excuse to hide behind it. Now is the time to come together and live up to your commitments.
