STORY – MDG debate: Whose Millennium Development Goals?NAME – Pascal Kwesiga, Campus TimesCITATION:With multimedia journalism in Uganda still in its infancy, it is exciting to see a few young, ambitious journalists leading the charge to popularise this storytelling format. This is not just a strong piece of journalism, but it is well crafted in its use of text, audio and video, making it an insightful and deep piece on international development.TRANSCRIPT

Development Goals (MDGs). Asdiscussions for the post 2015Development agenda gainmomentum, Pascal Kwesiga looks atthe status of Uganda on achievement of each of the eight MDGs, whatUgandans know about the MDGs and what different sections of Uganda’sthink are their own development goals.
About the MDGs
The Millennium Development Goals(MDGs) are eight InternationalDevelopment goals established after theUN Millennium Summit in 2000. The UNmember countries adopted the goals inthe UN Millennium Declaration andcommitted themselves to achievingthem by 2015. The MDGs include;
1. To eradicate extreme poverty and
hunger
2. To achieve universal primary education
3. To promote gender equality and empower women
4. To reduce child mortality

MDG6 MDG7 MDG8
5. To improve maternal health
6. To combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
7. To ensure environmental sustainability
8. To develop a global partnership for development
Each goal has specific targets and dates for achieving those targets. Itshould be noted that efforts have been made by countries includingUganda to have these goals achieved.
But as the 2015 deadline for MDGs gets closer, countries are making lastminute efforts to try to achieve the goals. It’s therefore against thisbackground that I found it relevant to examine Uganda’s performance andengage development experts about the suitable post 2015 developmentframework.
Here is a graphical presentation of the MDGs and an analysis of Uganda’sperformance. Click on the tabs below to see how Uganda performed onthe different aspects of each of the MDGs.

BUT WHAT DO ORDINARY PEOPLE THINK ABOUT MDGs?
While the statics from the UN show a mix of achievements on sometargets and a struggle on some for Uganda, there has been concern thatmany Ugandans do not know or care about MDGs or take them to be theirown development goals.
Here below are audio recordings and videos presenting how Ugandansunderstand MDGs, what the government of Uganda can do to improvepeople’s livelihoods, people’s personal development goals (are their goalsincluded in the MDGs?) and experts weighing in on the relevance of MDGsfor Uganda and the key development issues that government should tacklein the post 2015 development agenda.
