Global and international organizations have initiated several measures to address poverty globally and work towards alleviating it. Some key organizations mentioned are the Center for Global Development, Global Call to Action Against Poverty, Child Poverty Action Group, and International Network of Street Papers. The Millennium Development Goals also aimed to halve extreme poverty and hunger, achieve universal primary education, promote gender equality, reduce child and maternal mortality rates, and create a global partnership for development by 2015. International organizations must prioritize reducing income inequality, empowering women, improving healthcare for the poor, and collectively measure progress on alleviating poverty.

Goals:

education
4. Reduce the deaths of children under five by two-
thirds

8. Conclusion
In designing poverty programmes, it is wise to respect the
vision of poverty articulated by poor people themselves. The
international organizations must give priority to reduce
variability of income, or strengthen women’s autonomy by
improving the legal system, or improve the service the poor
receive at health centers. Variety of this kind does little to help
generate measures of international progress.
