Progress against poverty requires: rule of law, judicial independence and free speech

How about some world governance goals?

Paul Wolfowitz, Mark Palmer, Patrick Glen

Fortunately, there is an excellent model available in the Millennium development Goals, which the U.N. established in 2000 with the aim of eliminating or reducing poverty dramatically—and also improving health care, for example—by 2015. Even though many countries are still a long way from achieving those goals and are unlikely to do so by 2015, the MDGs are an important innovation. They provide, for the first time, an official measure of progress toward poverty elimination for each country in the world.
