Why does the Millennium Foundation focus on Health?
Such lofty commitments have provided an ambitious target for the international community and served to mobilize resources to meet these goals. Although there has been some progress in meeting some of the MDGs since 2000, but much remains to be done to reduce poverty and improve health in developing countries. More than halfway to the 2015 deadline, there is considerable worry that the three health-related MDGs (goals 3,4 and 5) might not be achieved by 2015. New innovative financing for development is vital, especially for global health. The Millennium Foundation is the only new innovative financing solution dedicated to implementing new financing mechanisms with private sector partners, making it unique in the global health landscape in providing new methods for finding sources of funding.
