UN Millenium Development Goals

 

 

At the UN Millenium Summit in 2000, the heads of state and government of the UN member states agreed upon a multilateral consensus to reduce worldwide poverty about 50% until 2015. Hence, eight  Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) had been formulated as concrete objective targets:

 

1. Eradicate extreme poverty & hunger

2. Achieve universal primary education

3. Promote gender equality and empower women

4. Reduce child mortality

5. Improve maternal health

6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases

7. Ensure environmental sustainability

8. Develop a global partnership for development

 

The UN Declaration about the MDGs prevails as a cornerstone in the history of international development policy and is an incentive for worldwide efforts to improve the living conditions of millions of people.
