High Level Event at the UN Headquarters on the MDGs and MDG report 2008
The UN Secretary-General and the President of the UN General Assembly convened a High-level Event on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) at UN Headquarters in New York on 25 September 2008. In preparation for the event, the Millennium Development Goals Report for 2008 was published in August this year. The Report summarizes progress made towards the MDGs in each of the 10 Regions around the world. Despite the results achieved in some areas, results show that in most countries there are segments of society that do not share in the overall benefits. Targeted actions are needed to reach them. The report also recognizes that the emergence of a world food crisis has served to highlight, once again, the need to give greater attention to developing the agricultural sector and addressing the needs of the rural population.

(CFS) to be held in Rome from 14-17 October
The 34th Session of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) will be held in Rome from 14-17 October, in conjunction with World Food Day on October 16th. The focus of the CFS will be discussions and debate on the impact and policy responses of the high food prices. One background document produced by FAO for the CFS is the Assessment of the World Food Security and Nutrition Situation, which reviews long-term trends in the prevalence of global hunger and includes a special section on High Food Prices: Impacts and Policy Responses. The document shows that in 2003-05, even before the effects of high food prices caused further setbacks, there were about 848 million chronically hungry people, about the same as in 1990-92, the baseline period for the World Food Summit (WFS) and Millennium Development Goal
