The Millennium Development Goals are: goal#1-Eradicating extreme poverty & hunger, goal#2- achieve universal primary education, goal#3- promote gender equality & empower women, goal#4- reduce child mortality, goal#5- improve maternal health, goal#6- combat HIV/AIDS, malaria & other diseases, goal#7- ensure environmental sustainability, and goal#8- develop a global partnership for development.
According to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Report from 2005, there have been some improvements in some areas of stream poverty, but there is still a lot of work to do to help the poorest people in the world. The MDG shows that there is still more than 1 billion people living in less than a dollar a day in developing countries, more than 115 million children are not able to get primary education, almost every year 11 million children die before the age of 5, and more than 20 people have died from HIV/AIDS around the world. The United Nations (UN) have create the MDG as a promise to the world and as a guidance of what is needed to do and how much is still needed to do by the target date of 2015.
Do you think that it is possible to eradicate extreme poverty in the world? Do you think that by 2015, the UN will achieve their goals?
