The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are international targets on reducing global poverty.
MDGs were set at a meeting in 1999 when it was realised that the existing poverty reduction targets to be achieved by 2000 would not be met. Thus governments set new goals to be achieved by 2015. If met, these goals will do a lot to improve the lives of millions of people. Find out more:
