Millennium Development Goals Gap Task Force Report 2013: The Global Partnership for Development - The Challenge We Face

Despite improvements in duty-free access for exports from developing nations, challenges persist with high costs for information and communication technologies and limited access to essential medicines. Nonetheless, some governments continue to uphold their commitments amidst domestic austerity, indicating a complex interplay of progress and regression in global development efforts.
