Chapter 2: Section 2.6
Millennium Development Goal Campaign

The Millennium Development Goals Campaign Unit

Following informal consultations with key civil society organisations (CSOs) and individuals with campaigning experience, the UN decided to set up a small Millennium Campaign Unit. The Unit is identified as a UN initiative to ensure maximum benefit from the UN system. It operates, however, at arms-length from the regular UN bodies, allowing more freedom of action and flexibility.

The functions of the unit are to:

  • Disseminate information
  • Forge connections with existing campaigns and movements
  • Promote networking, consultations and partnerships, especially with civil society
  • Co-ordinate campaign strategies and messages.
