UNHCR's Global Objectives and Indicators of Progress for 2004 were based on the strategic goals established by the High Commissioner for the year.

Our view is that, even though a goal may become elusive, we should neither change the target nor abandon our vision.

The Goals will not be met unless the international community becomes seriously involved.

Development objectives, including the Millennium Declaration Goals, must underpin international efforts to ensure prevention and meet the relief and rehabilitation needs of refugees.

The objectives represented a synthesis of specific objectives from various sources, including the Agenda for Protection, UNHCR's Country Operations Plans, Global Programmes and the MDGs, and are described in UNHCR's Global Appeal for 2004.

Delays by implementing partners in meeting UNHCR financial reporting requirements have adversely affected UNHCR s ability to monitor project expenditures against outputs and the achievement of project objectives.

It can be difficult to construct a path to nuclear disarmament if we do not know more precisely what will be the end goal.

Paragraph 2 of the guidelines (difficulties, goals and benchmarks)

UNHCR has developed a Policy and Methodological Framework for QIPs, which should ensure these aims are met.

In the absence of planned objectives and of measurement of progress compared with objectives, it was difficult to understand how UNHCR could assess whether the Office was adequately staffed.

The strategy had set out performance objectives for assisting and protecting refugee children and adolescents and had established a system that would improve staffing, training and budgeting in order to achieve those objectives.

Though the MDGs are well thought out goals set for member nations to follow, they are often too theoretical for implementation as they do not mention human relations with respect to human rights and cultural protection.

We cannot afford to lose sight of that objective, no matter how long and hard the path is towards it.

Difficulties encountered in attaining the objective of full employment

What is so difficult and challenging is that we are also the objects of these changes.

The objective of the researchers working on the project was to highlight factors that make it difficult for women to obtain relevant technical and business skills.

(iv) Presentation of the desired targets, goals and means to achieve those goals and targets

The Director of the Division of Operational Support presented an information note on the Relevance of UNHCR's activities to the Millennium Development Goals (EC 55 SC INF.1), highlighting the gradual integration of the MDGs into UNHCR's strategic objectives and annual programme directives as well as programme monitoring tools.

It seems increasingly difficult for some delegations to distinguish the process from the objective they are becoming one and the same.

The wide area effects of these weapons make it difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish between military objectives and civilians in a populated target area.

They must follow from, and be directly related to, objectives.

From all indications Sierra Leone is unlikely to meet the Millennium Development Goals in any of the areas.

A moving target is much harder to hit. Remember that.

Care and Maintenance programmes for both refugees and the internally displaced will often include objectives which appear rather broad.

Since UNHCR had joined UNDG, it had been integrating the Millennium Development Goals into its activities, especially Goal 8 which called for a global partnership for development, by promoting multilateral partnerships on durable solutions and burden sharing.

The goal of the past was standardization and compliance.

Unfortunately, most developing countries will not be able to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, given current growth rates and levels of international support.

Formulation of such targets was a difficult but not an impossible task.

The same difficulties are being encountered in connection with the professionalization of the judiciary.

Achieving gender equality by 2005 and universal primary education by 2015 were two of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that were harder to attain.

As part of the Agenda for Protection, there should be a balanced approach to every one of the six goals identified.

Her delegation welcomed the efforts of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to build a culture of effective management and accountability and establish global strategic objectives, measures and indicators, but urged UNHCR to pay even greater attention to achieving its objectives.

In the absence of precise, quantifiable objectives and baseline indicators before the project started, it was difficult to gauge the impact achieved from equipment provided to the Government s enforcement agencies in any qualitative or quantitative way.

current thinking on this issue energy and development nexus the energy dilemma the gap between the current energy consumption patterns and the unsustainability of current pattern of supply criteria of sustainability.

Sudanese refugees in camps in northern Uganda were often among the targets of these acts.

Tables 29E.6 (Objective), 29E.8 (Objective 1), 29F.7 (Objective), 29F.9 (Objective 1), 29G.6 (Objective), 29G.8 (Objective 1)

It is self evident that the MDGs will be that much harder to attain as long as Africa's infrastructure gap is not closed.

It is a challenge for countries to be able to afford basic health services for their populations, ensure financial protection and achieve the Millennium Development Goals.

82. Reports should also provide information on the progress achieved in the implementation of this article, any difficulties encountered or on targets set for the future.

Without prompt solutions to the debt obligations of small and vulnerable economies, the targeted eradication of poverty will remain an elusive Millennium Development Goal.
