Introduction and some help
At the UN Millennium Summit in 2000, world leaders met to develop a plan to improve
the quality of life in developing countries. All countries signed the Millennium Declaration,
the first internationally agreed upon framework for fighting global poverty, hunger,
disease, and inequality.
To realize the aspirations of the Millennium Declaration, eight specific development
goals were created. Now known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), these
goals address the root causes of poverty and inequality with a target achievement date of
2015.The MDGs are more than commitments; they offer a program of action to combat
many of the world’s ills through a global partnership. Moreover, the goals are interconnected
so that in order to achieve one, a country must also work toward achieving the
others. For example, children’s health cannot be improved without providing clean water,
and women’s rights cannot be realized without providing girls with equal access to
primary education.
The eight MDGs are1. Eradicate extreme poverty and 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
