IPPF Director General, Gill Greer, discusses universal access to reproductive health at a Side Event held during the Informal Interactive Hearings of the United Nations General Assembly with Non-governmental organizations, Civil Society Organizations and the Private sector. The CSO hearings were held at the UN Headquarters in New York from June 14–15, 2010. In 2000, UN Member States agreed to the Millennium Declaration and committed themselves to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015.  In September 2010 the UN General Assembly will hold a High-level Plenary Meeting, referred to as the "MDG Summit” to evaluate and accelerate progress towards the goals in the next five years. The outcomes of the June CSO hearings provide input to the preparatory process for the Summit and be issued as an Assembly document.
