The Millennium Development Goals

From time to time, you may hear people talk about the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It refers to a set of highly ambitious targets that ALL 191 members of the United Nations have agreed to meet by 2015 - ten years away.

The eight targets are...

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
2. Achieve universal primary education
3. Promote gender equality and empower women
4. Reduce child mortality
5. Improve maternal health
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
7. Ensure environmental sustainability
8. Develop a global partnership for development

These goals underlie the mission of GlobalTribe and will determine the campaigns we adopt in the future.
