Reducing poverty, promoting prosperity and protecting the planet
United Nations development efforts profoundly affect the lives and well-being of millions of people throughout the world. They are based on the conviction that lasting international peace and security are possible only if the economic prosperity and the well-being of people everywhere is assured.
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
In September 2000, world leaders committed their nations to 8 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to be achieved by 2015. These goals range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education. To attain them the Secretary General has launched different initiatives, including the Zero Hunger Challenge.
