At the United Nations Millennium Summit
in 2000, 189 Heads of Government promised
to end poverty by 2015.
They signed the Millennium Declaration,
promising to “free men, women and
children from the dehumanizing conditions
of extreme poverty”, committing developed
and developing countries alike to
eight Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs).
The MDGs call for a global partnership
to address the most critical issues
of our time.
