MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were a set of eight international goals created by the United
Nations in 2000 to improve the lives of people around the world by 2015. They focused on reducing poverty,
improving health and education, promoting gender equality, and ensuring environmental sustainability.

Brief Summary of the 8 MDGs:

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger:

Halve the number of people living on less than $1.25 a day and reduce hunger.

2. Achieve universal primary education:

Ensure all children can complete primary school.

3. Promote gender equality and empower women:

Eliminate gender disparity in education and promote equal opportunities.

4. Reduce child mortality:

Reduce the death rate of children under five.

5. Improve maternal health

Reduce the number of women dying during childbirth.

6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases:

Stop the spread of these diseases.

7. Ensure environmental sustainability:

Protect natural resources and provide access to clean water and sanitation.

8. Develop a global partnership for development:

Work together globally to improve trade, debt relief, and access to technology.

The MDGs helped focus global efforts and led to progress in many areas, especially in reducing poverty
and improving access to education and healthcare. They were succeeded by the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) in 2015 for a more comprehensive approach to global development.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals adopted by the United Nations in
2015 as a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all by the year 2030. They build on the
progress of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) but are broader, covering environmental, social,
and economic development.

1. No Poverty – End poverty in all forms everywhere.
