Global monitoring report 2010: the MDGs after the crisis

What is the human cost of the global economic crisis? This
Global Monitoring Report: The MDGs after the Crisis,
examines the impact of the worst recession since the Great
Depression on poverty and human development outcomes in
developing countries. Although the recovery is under way, the
impact of the crisis will be lasting and immeasurable. The
impressive precrisis progress in poverty reduction will slow. No
household in developing countries is immune. Gaps will persist
to 2020. In 2015, 20 million more people in Sub-Saharan Africa
and 53 million more people globally will be in extreme poverty.
