2. What is MDG
• The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight
international development goals that all 193 United
Nations member states and at least 23 international
organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015.
They include eradicating extreme poverty, reducing child
mortality rates, fighting disease epidemics such as AIDS,
and developing a global partnership for development.
• The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were
adopted by 189 member states in the Millennium
Summit of United Nations in 2000. These states have
pledged to achieve the MDGs by 2015

3. Origin
• Adopted by world leaders in the year 2000 and set to be
achieved by 2015, the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) provide concrete, numerical benchmarks for
tackling extreme poverty in its many dimensions.
• The MDGs also provide a framework for the entire
international community to work together towards a
common end – making sure that human development
reaches everyone, everywhere. If these goals are
achieved, world poverty will be cut by half, tens of
millions of lives will be saved, and billions more people
will have the opportunity to benefit from the global
economy.

14. Goal 8: Develop a global

17. Evaluation
• A decade after the Millennium Declaration, we can point
to undeniable progress on some MDGs in many
countries.
• There have been noticeable reductions in poverty
globally, significant improvements in enrolment and
gender parity in schools, reductions in child and maternal
mortality and increasing HIV treatments.
• Steps have been taken towards ensuring environmental
sustainability and developing countries are incorporating
the MDGs into their development strategies.
• Rapid reductions in poverty are not necessarily
addressing gender equality and environmental
sustainability.12/16/2020 17
18. Evaluation
• Lack of progress in reducing HIV is improvements in both
maternal and child mortality.
• The expansion of health and education services is not being
matched by quality.
• MDG progress is also threatened by the combination of high
food prices and the impact of the international financial and
economic crisis.
• Sustained poverty and hunger reduction is at risk because of
vulnerability to climate change, particularly in the area of
agricultural production.
• Weak institutional capacity in conflict and post-conflict
countries also slows MDG progress, and rapid urbanisation is
putting pressure on social services.12/16/2020 18
19. Meeting the Vision
• The framework provides a systematic way for
countries to develop their own action plan
based on existing processes to pursue their
MDG priorities. It also helps governments to
focus on disparities and inequalities, two of
the major causes of uneven progress, by
particularly responding to the needs of the
vulnerable.
