Debt Relief and the MDGs
September 28, 2004
By Nancy Birdsall and Milan Vaishnav
This note links the relevance of debt relief to one of the great challenges of our time: achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This is not a new point. Many have written, quite eloquently, on the importance of debt relief for the world’s poorest countries as a way to reduce poverty, end hunger, and improve health and education prospects for the world’s poorest people. In this note we emphasize the contribution that a more predictable, longer-term trajectory of debt relief could make for the poorest countries’ potential to achieve the MDGs.
