Calls for Solomons to take MDGs seriously
Updated
As the new Solomon Islands' government begins taking the reigns of power, local NGOs are calling on it to start serious work to improve the quality of life for the country's people. Solomon Islands signed up to achieve the eight United Nations Millennium Development Goals in the year 2000. But with just five years to go before the MDGs are due to be achieved, the Solomons looks like being one of the many developing nations which will fall short. And some people say it's down to a lack of political will.
