Nice global initiative.
I am focussing on MDG1, the easiest of all 8 MDGs.
Thanks to it amazing simplicity, a child can calculate the budget needed, even without 100$ laptop.
Let's take DR Congo as an example, the poorest country on earth, according to the World Bank. The target is easy to calculate: 1$ a day, that makes 70 million people times 365 days a year = ....
25 billion $ a year
You have to know that GDP is 8 billion a year, worldwide aid to DRC 1 billion a year.
So, aid is at 4% of the need. This is typical in development aid. The target and goals are 25 times bigger than the budget. Keep dreaming...
The EU gives 50 million € to combat climate change effects globally, it gives 50 billion € for economic development of Spain.
Your budget shows where your heart is.
But my MDG1 proposal for DR Congo will solve the problems of the people there, in an amazing way, making the people themselves responsible for their own future. I have not yet found a better solution.
