Several people made particularly noteworthy contributions in the drafting process for this report. Macartan Humphreys played a central role in the drafting of chapter 12 on fragile states and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Nirupam Bajpai, Shuming Bao, and Wing Thye Woo provided important analysis to inform chapter 11 on investment priorities in other regions. Deborah Balk, Bob Chen, Marc Levy, Adam Storeygard, and their colleagues at the Center for International Earth Science Information Networks (CIESIN) at Columbia University conducted much of the report's geospatial data analysis. Brian Hammond and his colleagues at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) gave tremendously of their time and expertise to inform the analysis in chapter 13 on fixing the donor system. Dani Kaufmann provided very helpful inputs to chapter 7 on governance. For all these chapters any remaining errors are the authors' own.
The UN Millennium Project benefited from active intellectual collaboration with François Bourguignon, Chief Economist of the World Bank; Nicholas Stern, his distinguished predecessor in that position and now at the U.K. Treasury; and Raghuram Rajan, Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). All were marvelously collaborative and thoughtful in sharing insights and comments on interim products and jointly pursuing the best possible analytical frameworks for achieving the MDGs. Many co-organized- seminars and meetings benefited from the contributions of several of their colleagues, including Jim Adams, Shaida Badiee, Barbara Bruns, Mariam Claeson, Shanta Devarajan, Shahrokh Fardoust, Pablo Gottret, Rudolf Knippenberg (UNICEF), Ibrahim Levent, Hans Lofgren, Gobind Nankani, John Page, Ramahatra Rakotomalala, Peter Roberts, Agnes Soucat, Eric Swanson, Jee-Peng Tan, Hans Timmer, and Dominique van der Mensbrugghe at the World Bank; and Sanjeev Gupta, Peter Heller, and Arvind Subramanian from the IMF.
The UN Millennium Project also thanks its partners in developing a -country-level MDG needs assessment methodology, the summary results of which are presented in chapter 17 on expanding the financial envelope to achieve the MDGs: Anwara Begum and M. Salimullah from the Bangladesh Institute for Development Studies; Kao Kim Hourn and Ray Zepp from the University of Cambodia; Ernest Aryeetey and Michael Nimo from the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research in Ghana; Samar Datta, Ravindra Dholakia, and Akhilesh Kumar from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad; Haidari K. R. Amani, Flora Lucas Kessy, and Deogratias Macha from the Economic and Social Research Foundation in Tanzania; and Godfrey Bahiigwa, Lawrence Bategeka, and Nathan Okarut from the Economic Policy Research Center in Uganda. The UN Millennium Project is indebted to McKinsey & Company, which developed the analysis underlying the energy section of the needs assessment; to Eva Weissman for invaluable assistance in the child health and maternal health analyses; and to David Simon for analysis of official development assistance flows and their sectoral allocation. Shan Cao, Andrew Charlton, Stacy Fehlenberg, Joe Kennedy, and Pierre Yared performed excellent research assistance in the needs assessment effort.
Countless UNDP staff supported the Project's efforts. Elli Kaplan was invaluable in supporting the Project's early stages. Jeffrey Avina, Ade Lekoetje, Elizabeth Lwanga, Jacques Loup, Lamin Manneh, and Comfort Tetteh were also tremendous contributors to the UN Millennium Project's day-to-day work. Sally Fegan-Wyles and her team at the UN Development Group were ever helpful and supportive. Major substantive contributions were made from throughout the Bureau for Development Policy, including: Susan McDade and the energy group; Antoine Heuty, Terry McKinley, Rathin Roy, and colleagues in the poverty group; Gita Welch and the institutional development group; and Terence Jones and his team from the capacity development group. Djibril Diallo, David Morrison, Bill Orme, and their COA colleagues provided invaluable communications support. The Project also thanks the MDG focal points from the other regional bureaux: Ghaith Fariz, Enrique Ganuza, Balasubramanium Murali, and Norimasa Shimomura. Pedro Conceição, Moez Doraid, Gulden Turkoz-Cosslett, Mattias Johansson, Inge Kaul, Ronald Mendoza, Omar Noman, Alejandra Pero, Bharati Sadasivam, Amina Tirana, and Caitlin Wiesen were also extremely generous with their contributions. Nissim Ezekiel and the secretariat of the Commission on Private Sector and Development offered many helpful suggestions, including Jan Krutzinna, Naheed Nenshi, Yann Risz, and Sahba Sobhani.
