This week, world leaders gathered at the United Nations for the MDG Summit to review and accelerate progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals set for 2015, designed to end world poverty. Corresponding with that summit, former Prime Minister Tony Blair and Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf co-authored a statement reporting on the state of progress in Africa and, specifically, Liberia. The article sites two key areas of success: good governance and a thriving public sector. Read the complete article here. Tony Blair addressed The Richmond Forum in November 2008 and President Sirleaf will be our speaker on November 6, 2010.
A limited number of subscriptions for the 25th season of The Richmond Forum are still available and can be purchased online, or by calling (804) 330-3993.
