The MDGs at Davos

I recently caught up with Millennium Promise CEO John McArthur.  We spoke about what was accomplished at last September's MDG summit at the UN; what to expect from the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland; and discuss his new project: MDG Pledges.

Today, the UN announced a new way to make sure that donors actually follow through on their pledges.
