A collection of sixteen essays edited by Richard Black and Howard
White under the title
Targeting Development: Critical Perspectives on
the Millennium Goals
(2004) covers diverse aspects of the MDGs - from
the 'new poverty agenda', halving world poverty, clean water and
development, to the global challenge of HIV - and, thereby, offers a
good starting point for the interested reader. The MDGs and progress in
reaching the targets are covered in general texts, including Rob Potter
et al.'s
Geographies of Development
(2008, Chapter 1). A good over-
view is provided in Jonathan Rigg's 'The Millennium Development
Goals' as Chapter 1.7 in
The Companion to Development Studies
(2008).
The United Nations Development Programme's website (www.undp.
org) is an excellent up-to-date source, covering the goals and targets
as well as progress at the national and continental levels.
