Millennium Development Goals Book

This book is a testimony of the dedicated efforts of professional social workers, practitioners and social scientists. Their scientific research initiatives reveal their commitment and concern towards overcoming extreme poverty, guarantee universal primary education/ensuring gender equality and empowerment, combating HIV/AIDS, promoting maternal & child health and environmental sustainability and establishing global partnerships for development. The keen interest exhibited by the contributors disclose that professional social workers and the practitioners in the social science arena are taking on these challenges, and give us hope that their volunteering would give a multi-dimensional approach to the attainment of the MDGs, and we are sure that together we can make a difference. The book would be beneficial to academicians and practitioners in the social science field and aspiring social workers.
