The Millennium Development Goals

With this number of MShikamano, MS East Africa wants to highlight the contributions from our partners towards reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MFGs)
We acknowledge the work of all our partners in this effort, but can only bring a selection of examples due to the limited size of the magazine.

Goal 4 and 5 are not included in the MSIS policy so they have been left out.

The reporters in this magazine are graduate students from the Danish School of Journalism in Aarhus, Denmark
