18. Millennium developmental goals
• In September 2000, at the UN Millennium Summit, the UN General
Assembly adopted the United Nations Millennium Declaration. The
Declaration, which called for a global partnership to reduce extreme poverty,
was the first ever global strategy with quanitifiable targets to be agreed upon
by all UN member states and the world’s leading development institutions.
• To support the Declaration, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan
established eight accompanying objectives. These objectives were set with a
deadline of 2015 and became known as the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs).
19. Millennium developmental goals
• The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which range from halving extreme
poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all
by the target date of 2015 – form a blueprint agreed to by all the world’s countries and all
the world’s leading development institutions.
• The United Nations Millennium Campaign, started in 2002, supports and inspires people
from around the world to take action in support of the Millennium Development Goals.
• On 25 September 2013, the President of the UN General Assembly hosted a special
event to follow up on efforts made towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs).

21. How are sustainable developmental goals
different from Millennium developmental goals
• It address the root cause of poverty and the universal need for development
that works for all people
• the new goals are universal and applied to all countries where the MDGs
were intended for action in developing countries only
22.
23. • In sharp contrast to the MDGs, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
are uniformly applicable to all countries of the world, removing the
“developing” versus “developed” dichotomy that left the MDGs open to
criticism.
24. • MDGs maintained a retrospectively narrow focus on poverty reduction, the
SDGs include new themes which reflect an approach that sees the
environment, economy and society as embedded systems rather than
separate competing “pillars”: e.g. urban areas, water and sanitation, energy,
and climate change are all prominently featured.
25. Were the MDGs successful?
• The effectiveness of the MDGs has been the subject of considerable debate.
Supporters argue that the development agenda promoted by the MDGs has
spearheaded an unprecedented international movement against extreme
poverty, reducing it by more than 50 percent globally.
• Critics, on the other hand, note that progress on the specific targets set out
by the MDGs has been both regionally and thematically unbalanced. This is
because many countries adopted a “piecemeal approach”, choosing to
engage with some but not all of the MDGs.
