haut-niveau du Conseil économique et social des Nations Unies (ECOSOC), ce
Forum a pour but de mettre en lumière (i) le rôle crucial des objectifs de
développement internationalement reconnus (ODIR)/ des objectifs du Millénaire
pour le développement (OMD) dans la poursuite d’une stratégie globale de
développement orientée vers l’obtention de résultats ; et (ii) la
nécessité d’une évaluation des efforts et des réussites des partenaires pour le
développement dans le cadre de la poursuite de ces objectifs. Alors que le Forum
sera majoritairement axé sur les OMD et les ODIR, ses participants devront
également définir leurs positions vis-à-vis des thèmes récemment adoptés pour
la session de fond de l’ECOSOC en 2007 : « le renforcement des
efforts à tous les niveaux visant à la promotion, favorable aux pauvres, d’une
croissance économique soutenue, y compris par le biais de politiques
macroéconomiques équitables » et pour l’examen ministériel annuel de
l’ECOSOC sera « Le renforcement des efforts visant à éradiquer la pauvreté
et la faim, y compris par le biais du partenariat mondial pour le
développement ».<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
