STAND UP AGAINST POVERTY The Stand Up Campaign hopes to convince citizens, as well as their
governments, that meeting the MDGs is in their own and everyone's interest
for moral, economic and security reasons. http://standagainstpoverty.org/
If
you live in São Tomé,
a good investment in your health
is to plant a po-sabom tree (Dracaena
aroborea) in your backyard. Leave
space: it can grow up to 20 metres
high, with sword-shaped leaves.
The world is suffering a severe downturn. A lot is at stake for the so-called South - especially for the Least Developed Countries (LDCs). Gains made toward achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are in danger of being reversed. IPS is following the progress of proposals to minimise impacts of the world financial and economic crisis on the most vulnerable.
