On the Millennium Development Goals

This is the last subsection of section 4.1 of our new syllabus:

'Outline the current status of international development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals'

MDG #1 is to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. The targets within this goal include:

1. Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than $1 a day
2. Achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young people
3. Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger

Click here to read the factsheet on MDG #1. Check the 'where do we stand' points and the 'what has worked' section (take down notes).

Please watch this video on Vietnam's growth and poverty reduction effort and jot down the key points in a word file (to be saved in your development folder as agreed).

Enjoy!
