Approach

The UN Special Envoy’s Office and MDG Health Alliance have a singular focus: supporting the achievement of the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Chaired by Special Envoy Ray Chambers and with an Executive Committee of Vice-Chairs, the Office works with countries and partners that are financing, planning and working to save the lives and improve the health of the world’s most vulnerable people.

We have a specific interest in securing and aligning financing from key donors, as well as providing planning and tracking support. We recognize that successful partnerships are the only way by which global goals can be met, so we support and facilitate understanding and collaboration among partners wherever possible.

Finally, through the MDG Health Alliance we engage inspiring and committed leaders, largely from the private sector, who are bringing their resources and innovation to bear in achieving the MDGs.
