UNDP Website Consultant

Background of the United Nations Millennium Campaign

When the United Nations Millennium Campaign (UNMC) was established by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2002, with a mandate to work with a wide range of partners to foster a self-sustaining movement - extending beyond the UN system – advocating for the realization of the MDGs. It was designed to disseminate data and analysis emerging from UN reports, promote partnership among key actors, especially from civil society, link with other UN campaigns and coordinate campaign strategies and messages.

Over the past 10 years the Millennium Campaign has built an impressive array of partnerships with civil society on MDG advocacy and supported the creation of strong coalitions to create accountability for commitments at global, regional and country levels.


The 2010 MDG Summit renewed the focus on the MDG challenge and within the United Nations efforts are underway to maintain visibility of the MDGs in this crucial four year period leading to the 2015 deadline. The UN Millennium Campaign is integral to this process and is seeking to support these efforts by, among other, maximizing its outreach capacity and tools.
