Millenium Development Goals

?? What are they ??

In 2000 the member states of the United Nations set themselves the target of signifigantly reducincing world poverty by the year 2015.

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
2. Achieve universal primary education
3. Promote gender equality and empower women
4. Reduce child mortality by two thirds for children under five
5. Improve maternal health
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases
7. Ensure environmental sustainability
8. Develop a global partnership for development

These goals are unlikely to be met if governments do not uphold their end of the deal.
Governments MUST renew there resolve to meet the Millenium Development Goals by the year 2015 by tackling the global farming crisis and instituting fairer trade rules, along with more and better aid and debt relief.
