Common country assessment : Tuvalu final draft
Office of the United Nations Resident Coordinator
2002
Tuvalu has entered into numerous international commitments. These include endorsing the goals of the Decade for Education for All; the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development; the Beijing Platform of Action; the World Summit Goals for Children, the Convention on Rights of the Child, the Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women and the Pacific Platform of Action on Women. In 2000, Tuvalu endorsed the Millennium Declaration including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), most to be reached by 2015. It seems likely (table at right) that Tuvalu will meet most key MDGs.
