To repeat the point that was made in the panel discussion by several of the speakers, the fact that we now have a thriving discussion about democracy and the MDGs is not only a good thing in itself, but it is also a sign that we are living in a changed world.

I think it boils down to the point that everybody has made, whether they think democracy should be a separate goal or a pervasive element of all the other goals, that you cannot really achieve genuine development without participation, and you cannot really have participation without democracy.

This is not a bad idea in my view, because there is, out there, the argument that there is an alternative route, a kind of state capitalist alternative route, that you don’t have to “do democracy” because you can deliver services by having a good government that is undemocratic.

The infection rate is now greatly reduced. 
Antall nye smittede har nå gått veldig ned.
Norway is therefore scaling down its efforts in cooperation with the authorities in the countries concerned and the UN. 
Norge legger derfor om responsen i samarbeid med landenes myndigheter og FN.
This means that Norwegian health workers will return to Norway at the end of March. 
Det betyr også at norsk helsepersonell returnerer til Norge i slutten av mars.
The Ebola virus has claimed more than 10 000 lives in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone over the last year. 
Ebola-viruset har kostet over 10 000 liv i Guinea, Liberia og Sierra Leone det siste året.
The crisis is still not over, and it is important to strengthen the authorities’ capacity to stop any new outbreaks and prevent the spread of infection. 
Krisen er fortsatt ikke over og det er viktig å styrke lokale myndigheters kapasitet til å stanse nye utbrudd og hindre smittespredning.
‘Norway has had a broad engagement in the efforts to fight Ebola. 
- Norge har engasjert seg bredt i innsatsen mot ebola.
We will continue our strong engagement by providing support to NGOs, the World Health Organization and other partners. 
Vi vil fortsette med et sterkt norsk engasjement gjennom bistand til frivillige hjelpeorganisasjoner, Verdens helseorganisasjon og andre partnere.
This will include an additional contribution of NOK 50 million to the WHO’s efforts. 
Norge vil støtte Verdens helseorganisasjons innsats mot ebola med ytterligere 50 millioner kroner.
Altogether, Norway has provided more than NOK 500 million to the fight against Ebola,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende, who visited Liberia and Sierra in September last year. 
Til sammen har Norge bidratt med over en halv milliard kroner, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende, som besøkte Liberia og Sierra Leone i september i fjor.
The infection rate in Sierra Leone has fallen. 
Ebolaepidemien i Sierra Leone er redusert.
The Government of Sierra Leone has decided that the Ebola clinic in Moyamba, where Norwegian health personnel have been working since December, is to stop admitting new patients, and is to close completely by the end of March. 
Regjeringen i Sierra Leone har besluttet at ebola-klinikken i Moyamba, der norsk helsepersonell har jobbet siden oktober, skal stoppe inntak av nye pasienter og stenges helt ned i løpet av mars.
‘Norway, together with the UN and the UK, supports this decision, and we are therefore bringing back the Norwegian health workers at the end of March,’ said Minister of Health and Care Services Bent Høie, who visited Sierra Leone in February. 
- Norge, i likhet med FN og Storbritannia, støtter denne beslutningen, og trekker derfor tilbake vårt helsepersonell i slutten av mars, sier helse- og omsorgsminister Bent Høie, som besøkte Sierra Leone i februar.
No new cases of Ebola have been confirmed in the Moyamba district in recent weeks. 
I Moyambadistriktet har det ikke vært bekreftede tilfeller av ebola de siste ukene.
This means that there is less need for treatment centres, but the general health and humanitarian needs in the country are very great. 
Dette medfører et redusert behov for behandlingssentre, samtidig som øvrige helse- og humanitære behov er store.
The health authorities in Sierra Leone want to see a rapid normalisation of the situation, so that the local health workers can return to their normal jobs and help to rebuild the country’s ordinary health services. 
Helsemyndighetene i Sierra Leone ønsker derfor en snarlig normalisering av situasjonen slik at lokalt helsepersonell kan gjeninntre og gjenoppbygge landets ordinære helsetjeneste.
They have therefore decided to close 15 of the 24 treatment centres. 
De har derfor besluttet å stenge 15 av 24 behandlingssentre.
‘This work hasn’t been without risk, and I’m impressed by all those who have shown such willingness to help fellow human beings in a difficult situation. 
- Oppdraget har ikke vært risikofritt og jeg er imponert over alle som har stilt opp for medmennesker i en vanskelig situasjon.
The part played by the Norwegian health workers has been an important contribution to the overall effort. 
Innsatsen til det norske helsepersonellet har vært en viktig del av den samlede innsatsen.
Together with health workers from Sierra Leone and other countries, Norwegian doctors and nurses have provided the best possible care for everyone that has come to the treatment centre. 
Sammen med helsepersonell fra Sierra Leone og andre land har norske sykepleiere og leger ivaretatt alle som har kommet til behandlingssenteret så godt som mulig.
They have saved many lives, and the very fact that they have taken in people with the disease has helped to limit further infection,’ said Mr Høie. 
De har reddet mange liv og ved å ta imot syke, har de også bidratt til å begrense videre smitte, sier Høie.
Now Norway is encouraging the major global actors in the field, such as Gavi (the Vaccine Alliance), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the World Bank to invest in the rebuilding of the health systems in the affected countries. 
Videre vil Norge arbeide for at de store globale aktørene, som vaksinealliansen Gavi, Det globale fondet for bekjempelse av aids, tuberkulose og malaria og Verdensbanken vil investere i gjenoppbygging av helsesystemene i de rammede landene.
Norway will also support measures to ensure that schools can be safely reopened, and will deploy humanitarian experts through NORCAP (the Norwegian Refugee Council’s emergency standby roster). 
I tillegg vil Norge støtte tiltak som bidrar til trygg gjenåpning av skoler og sende ut nødhjelpseksperter gjennom beredskapsstyrken Norcap.
Many people have criticised the international response to the Ebola crisis for being too slow. 
Det er blitt rettet mye kritikk mot at den internasjonale responsen kom i gang for sent.
Norway, together with Ghana and Germany, has requested the UN Secretary-General to initiate an evaluation, and a panel of independent experts has been established for this purpose. 
Norge, sammen med Ghana og Tyskland, har bedt FNs generalsekretær om å sette i gang en evaluering, som når er på trappene.
