The United States is falling short on its commitment to rid the world of dire poverty by 2015 under the U.N. Millennium Development Goals, according to the report by InterAction, the main coalition of U.S.-based non-governmental organizations fighting poverty worldwide. As the world reaches the halfway point of the initiative, the United States is among a handful of nations that has failed to submit its progress report. In its stead, InterAction's independent analysis found the United States' track record is mixed, and it is not effectively coordinating or fully leveraging its aid where help is most needed.
