university Tlemcen: an international symposium at the university. An international symposium on the theme "Different views on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Poverty, education, health, natural resources management" will be held in Tlemcen 10, 11 and October 12, 2009 by the Faculty of Economics and Management University Abou Bakr Belkaid and networks of researchers from the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF) "Economic analysis and development environment and sustainable development and population dynamics corporations Entrepreneurship diseases" according to Ms. Yasmina Berraoui project leader in digital campus Francophonie University of Science and Technology Houari Boumediene (USTHB) Algiers Bab Ezzouar. The symposium proposes to focus on some targets four of the eight goals set by the United Nations system. The objectives for 2015 have been identified (in 1990) as follows: poverty, vulnerability and exclusion, a halving proportion of people whose income is less than one dollar a day, halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger. Education: giving all children, boys and girls around the world are able to complete a full course of primary education, eliminating gender disparities in primary and secondary, if possible, and all levels of education in 2015 at the latest, to imagine and implement strategies to create decent and productive work for youth ¨ Health: reduce by two thirds the mortality rate among children under 5 years, reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality rate, have stopped the spread of HIV / AIDS and begun to reverse, having mastered the spread of malaria and other major diseases, and begun to reverse the current trend. The management of natural resources and sustainable development by 2015: Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and reverse the loss of environmental resources, halving the proportion of population deprived of regular access to drinking water. Achieve significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers, promote sustainable urban development (access to water, improving habitat, reduce pollution ...) The symposium aims to provide a critical assessment of progress made so far towards achieving the objectives. It will focus on the experiences in the South, particularly regarding the role and interactions between different actors and the impact of policies in place, if possible experiences compared to other countries. For all the themes addressed, communications should also take into account cross-cutting scientific issues: the relevance and limitations of indicators used, the logic of the measure and its perverse effects on the policies (in relation to political issues associated financial monitoring indicators); gender issues; the process of implementing policies (sectoral and global) on the MDGs. The symposium is intended as a place to exchange experiences and assessment of progress. Papers may address these issues at the micro-local, national or comparatively (between countries) or in a dynamic Background: In September 2000, Heads of State and Governments from 189 countries have set themselves ambitious targets to improve the well-being of hundreds of millions of people in developing countries by adopting the Millennium Declaration United Nations. This statement, which follows a series of global conferences of the 1990s (Jomtien, Cairo, Beijing ...), was then translated by a campaign plan who has set eight goals for 2015, broken down into 8 targets and 48 quantitative indicators. The latter, to measure the level of achievement of the eight MDGs have been approved by the United Nations system in 2001. The eight MDGs reflect the commitment of world governments to act more and more to reduce poverty and hunger, to fight against poor health, gender disparities, lack of education, lack of access to safe water and environmental degradation, and to strengthen international partnerships solidarity. Despite advances, many developing countries are not currently on track to achieve their MDGs. Without a considerable strengthening of commitments both developed and developing countries, the MDGs will not be achieved globally and results in some of the poorest countries remain far below expectations. The symposium will be organized in plenary sessions which will be presented papers at an interdisciplinary or introducing a general problem, and parallel sessions to address specific topics. Of communications Poster (Poster) are also planned. Gadiri Mohammed.
