Millennium Development Goals “United Nations Millennium Development GOALS”

8 GOALS The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which range from halving extreme poverty rates to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015 – form a blueprint agreed to by all the world’s countries and all the world’s leading development institutions. They have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world’s poorest. From this site, explore the efforts of the UN and its partners for building a better world.

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Eradicate extreme poverty and The target of reducing extreme poverty hunger rates by half was met five years ahead of the 2015 deadline. The global poverty rate at $1. 25 a day fell in 2010 to less than half the 1990 rate. However, projections indicate that in 2015 almost one billion people will still be living on less than $1. 25 per day.

2. ACHIEVE UNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATION *Enrolment in primary education in developing regions reached 90 per cent in 2010, up from 82 per cent in 1999, which means more kids than ever are attending primary school.

3. PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY AND EMPOWER WOMEN : Putting resources into poor women’s hands while equality in promoting gender the household and in society results in large development payoffs.

4. REDUCE CHILD MORTALITY The target is to reduce by twothirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under five years old mortality rate, from 93 children of every 1, 000 dying to 31 of every 1, 000. Child deaths are falling, but much more needs to be done in order to reach the development goal.

5. Improve maternal health Maternal mortality has nearly halved since 1990, but levels are far removed from the 2015 target. The targets for improving maternal health include reducing by threefourths the maternal mortality ratio and achieve universal access to reproductive health.

6. COMBAT HIVAIDS, MALARIA AND OTER DISEAS More people than ever are living with HIV due to fewer AIDS-related deaths and the 1. COMBAT HIVAIDS, MALARIA AND continued large number of new OTHER DISEAS infections with 2. 5 million people are newly infected each year.

7. Ensure environmental sustainability Abstract The livelihood of all human beings depends on natural resources and environmental services. Unfortunately, it is the poor populations who suffer most from pollution and degradation.

8. Develop a global partnership for development Develop further an open trading and financial system that is rule-based, predictable and non-discriminatory. Includes a commitment to good governance, development and poverty reduction-nationally and internationally
