那些参与千年发展目标(MDG)运动的人通常会说，非洲将错过所有的千年发展目标。本文认为，将“成功”或“失败”定义为实现千年发展目标的数字目标的一系列武断选择，使得非洲实现千年发展目标的可能性低于其他区域，即使非洲的进展与其他区域的历史或当代经验一致或高于其他区域的经验。因此，“非洲将错过所有千年发展目标”的说法产生了不幸的效果，使非洲的成功看起来像是失败。(C)2008爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Those involved in the millennium development goal (MDG) campaign routinely state "Africa will miss all the MDGs." This paper argues that a series of arbitrary choices made in defining "success" or "failure" as achieving numerical targets for the MDGs made attainment of the MDGs less likely in Africa than in other regions even when its progress was in line with or above historical or contemporary experience of other regions. The statement that "Africa will miss all the MDGs" thus has the unfortunate effect of making African successes look like failures. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
