Millennium Development Goals

In 2000 the world’s governments adopted the Millennium Declaration, the stated aim of which is to address people’s needs for the new millennium. The hope held out by the Declaration is that there is a consensus among rich and poor countries that poverty is a collective focus, and that the resources needed to eradicate poverty exist. The Declaration calls for the political will to achieve such a fair distribution.
