Donor-driven guidelines will not help much to cut poverty by 2015 deadline, they added.

They said each country has its unique nature of poverty and it needs indigenous ways to remove poverty.

The analysts were speaking at a press briefing at the National Press Club during a release of a draft report titled 'Independent Civil Society Report on the Progress of MDGs in Bangladesh, 2007'.

M Asaduzzaman, director (research) of Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies, released an overview of the report saying most of the targets will not be achieved within the set timeframe due to slow progress of implementation activities.

"The government as well as other stakeholders in the country are not bothered about achieving the goals within the timeframe," he added.

The draft report said although some progress has been made in several areas but most of the goals will not be achieved.

The report urged the government to consult general people for better implementation of the programme.

Resheda K Chowdhury, convenor of Peoples Forum on MDGs, Bangladesh, and Ahsan Uddin Ahmed, executive director of Centre for Global Change, also spoke.
