What are the UN's
Millennium
Development Goals?
Among the Millennium Development Goals is the goal to promote
development even in some of the most remote regions of the world.
Goal
number 8 stipulates "promoting a global partnership for
develepment".
The nation of Bhutan is carrying out this goal by
supporting the move to a constitutional monarchy, which is implementing
elections of local leaders in remote areas. These leaders can
advocate how funds can best be used to develop their areas.
