Millennium Development Goals:
In September 2000, leaders of 189 United Nations member states came together in New York and signed the Millennium Declaration. It was a commit-ment by all member states to work together to combat poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental pollution, and discrimination against women.
In line with the declaration, eight specific goals were set, with measurable targets and indicators determined. The aim was to reach these goals by 2015:
1. 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
