The Global Poverty Project
Three months after its inception here in Australia, the Global Poverty Project was launched alongside the UN’s High Level Event on the Millennium Development Goals in New York on September 25 2008.
Speakers at the launch where Australian Foreign Minster, Stephen Smith; Director of the UN Millennium Campaign, Salil Shetty; CEO of World Vision Australia, Tim Costello; and Director of the Global Poverty Project, Hugh Evans.
The project already has backing from the Australian Government, the United Nations Millennium Campaign and the Mandela Foundation.
We are currently exploring opportunities for collaboration with many others including the Gates Foundation, the UK Government’s development agency DfID, U2 frontman and poverty campaigner Bono.
