The Millennium Development Goals were eight goals established by the United Nations in 2000 to be achieved by 2015. The goals aimed to eradicate extreme poverty, achieve universal primary education, promote gender equality, reduce child mortality, improve maternal health, combat HIV/AIDS and other diseases, ensure environmental sustainability, and develop a global partnership for development. The goals targeted specific outcomes like reducing poverty and hunger, improving access to healthcare, education, water and sanitation, and collaborating globally to achieve development for all nations and people.
The document outlines the eight Millennium Development Goals agreed upon by all United Nations member states and major development organizations. The goals aim to reduce extreme poverty, hunger, disease, and gender inequality while promoting education, environmental sustainability, and global partnerships by the target date of 2015. Each goal contains specific targets to measure progress made on that issue, such as halving the proportion of people living on less than $1.25 per day and the under-five mortality rate. The full achievement of these ambitious but feasible targets would significantly improve life for billions of people.
The document discusses Millennium Development Goal 8, which aims to create a global partnership for development. It seeks to provide access to affordable drugs in developing countries, cut debts owed by developing nations, and make new technologies available through cooperation with the private sector. However, Goal 8 lacks specific targets and aid levels have dropped short of what is needed. While some coordination has occurred, like Australia working with Pacific island nations, full achievement of the goal remains in question as the 2015 deadline approaches.

Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were a pledge
to uphold the principles of human dignity, equality and
equity, and free the world from extreme poverty. The
MDGs, with eight goals and a set of measurable timebound
targets, established a blueprint for tackling the
most pressing development challenges of our time. This report examines the latest progress towards
achieving the MDGs. It reaffirms that the MDGs
have made a profound difference in people’s lives.
Global poverty has been halved five years ahead of
the 2015 timeframe. Ninety per cent of children in
developing regions now enjoy primary education, and
disparities between boys and girls in enrolment have
narrowed. Remarkable gains have also been made in
the fight against malaria and tuberculosis, along with
improvements in all health indicators. The likelihood of
a child dying before age five has been nearly cut in half
over the last two decades. That means that about 17,000
children are saved every day. We also met the target
of halving the proportion of people who lack access to
improved sources of water.

Bangladesh has already met several targets of the MDGs like reducing poverty gap ratio, attaining gender parity at primary and secondary education, under-five mortality rate reduction, containing HIV infection with access to antiretroviral drugs, children under five sleeping under insecticide treated bed nets, detection and cure rate of tuberculosis under directly observed treatment short course and others. In addition, Bangladesh has made remarkable progress in the areas of poverty reduction, reducing the prevalence of underweight children, increasing enrolment at primary schools, lowering the infant mortality rate and maternal mortality ratio, improving immunization coverage and reducing the incidence of communicable diseases.
The Household Income and Expenditure Survey of 2010 data show that the incidence of poverty is declining at a rate of 2.47 percent per year since 1991-92 in Bangladesh. It can be said that the target of halving the population living below the poverty line is already achieved in 2012.On the other hand, areas in need of greater attention are hunger-poverty reduction and employment generation, increases in primary school completion and adult literacy rates, creation of decent wage employment for women, increase in the presence of skilled health professionals at delivery, increase in correct and comprehensive knowledge on HIV/AIDS, increase in forest coverage, and coverage of information and communication technology.
The document describes a new type of "medical mirror" interface that can measure a user's heart rate without external sensors. It works by using a webcam and software to analyze subtle light intensity changes in a user's face as their blood pulses, visible through ambient light. When a user looks at their reflection in the mirror, a box appears around their face and their continuously updating heart rate is displayed. This novel interface aims to conveniently allow users to track their daily health with minimal effort by blending physiological monitoring into everyday mirror use.

The Sustainable Development Goals—officially known as "Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development"—are an intergovernmental set of 17 aspirational goals and 169 targets. Building post-2015 on the accomplishments of the Millennium Development Goals, but cognizant also of their shortcomings, they combine economic, environmental, and social goals that now apply to all countries. They were developed in a broad two-year consultation process during which civil society, citizens, academics, scientists, and the private sector of all countries had the opportunity to contribute.

1. The document discusses Nigeria's progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set in 2000, which aimed to reduce poverty, hunger, disease, and gender inequality by 2015.
2. It notes that while many countries are still far from achieving the MDGs, frameworks have been put in place to work towards them. However, Nigeria in particular is not on track to meet most of the goals based on indicators like high maternal mortality, HIV prevalence, and low human development rankings.
3. The key question is how far Nigeria has come in attaining the MDGs, as improving human development is essential for overall national progress but Nigeria faces many challenges in providing basic necessities and education for
The Millennium Development Goals are eight goals agreed upon by 189 United Nations member countries in 2000 to combat poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation, and discrimination against women by 2015. The eight goals 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, and 8) develop a global partnership for development. The goals were established to address the main development challenges faced by the world's poorest nations.

The MDGs were established in 2000 following the Millennium Summit and Millennium Declaration. They consist of 8 goals to reduce poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, and environmental degradation by 2015. However, the goals were not developed through open government debate, but rather by UN agencies and experts, so their intergovernmental legitimacy is unclear. Progress toward the goals has been uneven, with some countries achieving many but others none. A 2010 UN conference reviewed progress and adopted plans to fully achieve the goals by 2015 through initiatives in health, poverty reduction, and development.
The Millennium Development Goals Report 2012 was launched in New York by the Secretary-General on 2 July 2012. The report presents the yearly assessment of global progress towards the MDGs, highlighting several milestones – three important MDG targets have been met well ahead of the target date of 2015. The report says that meeting the remaining targets, while challenging, remain possible - but only if Governments do not waiver from their commitments made over a decade ago. The report is based on a master set of data compiled by the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on MDG indicators led by the Statistics Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs.

EC311 Global Economic Issues (Foreign Aid)Ryan Herzog
Official Development Assistance (ODA) refers to government aid intended to promote economic development, and includes bilateral aid between donor and recipient countries as well as multilateral aid through organizations like the World Bank. In 2010, total ODA amounted to $30.3 billion. There is debate around the effectiveness of foreign aid, with some arguing it ends poverty while others argue it undermines self-sufficiency. The Millennium Development Goals set targets to reduce poverty, disease, and improve health and education by 2015. Progress was made but many targets were not fully met. The new Sustainable Development Goals covering 2015-2030 build on the MDGs with a broader focus on economic, social and environmental sustainability.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

the United Nations Millennium Declaration. All 189 United Nations
member states at the time (there are 193 currently) and at least
23 international organizations committed to help achieve the following
Millennium Development Goals by 2015.

14. conclusion
The percentage of people living on less than $1.25/day has been halved globally, more than 2
billion people have gained access to clean water, the number of people affected by malaria
and tuberculosis has been minimized and the hunger reduction target is attainable
within the prescribed deadline. However, other objectives are still far from
completion. These include environmental sustainability, lowering child and maternal
mortality rates, increasing access to education, HIV prevention and treatment and others (The
Millennium Development Goals Report 2013). It remains to be seen whether these areas in
need of further progress will receive adequate attention in coming years, and if new, loftier
objectives will be set in spheres of development where previous goals have already been
met.
Editor's Notes
It is encouraging to note that Bangladesh has already met several targets of the MDGs like reducing poverty gap ratio, attaining gender parity at primary and secondary education, under-five mortality rate reduction, containing HIV infection with access to antiretroviral drugs, children under five sleeping under insecticide treated bed nets, detection and cure rate of TB under DOTS and others. In addition, Bangladesh has made remarkable progress in the areas of poverty reduction, reducing the prevalence of underweight children, increasing enrolment at primary schools, lowering the infant mortality rate and maternal mortality ratio, improving immunization coverage and reducing the incidence of communicable diseases. The Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) 2010 data show that the incidence of poverty is declining at a rate of 2.47 percent per year since 1991-92 in Bangladesh. It can be said that the target of halving the population living below the poverty line is already achieved in 2012. On the other hand, areas in need of greater attention are hunger-poverty reduction and employment generation, increases in primary school completion and adult literacy rates, creation of decent wage employment for women, increase in the presence of skilled health professionals at delivery, increase in correct and comprehensive knowledge on HIV/AIDS, increase in forest coverage, and coverage of Information and Communication Technology.
Bangladesh has made commendable progress in respect of eradication of poverty and hunger. It has sustained a GDP growth rate in excess of 6 percent in recent years that has played a positive role in eradicating poverty. The robust growth has been accompanied by corresponding improvements in several social indicators such as increased life expectancy and lower fertility rate despite having one of the world‟s highest population densities. The inclusive growth has resulted in impressive poverty reduction from 56.7 percent in 1991-92 to 31.5 percent in 2010; the rate of reduction being faster in the present decade than the earlier ones. The latest HIES 2010 data show that the incidence of poverty has declined at an annual rate of 2.47 percent in Bangladesh during 1992-2010 against the MDG target of 2.12 percent. Bangladesh has already met one of the indicators of target 1 by bringing down the poverty gap ratio to 6.5 against 2015 target of 8.0. The estimated figures suggest that the MDG target of halving the population living below the poverty line (from 56.7 percent to 29.0 percent) has already been achieved in 2012. Unemployment as well as underemployment is especially dominant among the young people between 15 to 24 years of age. This age group comprises nearly 9 percent of the country‟s population and 23 percent of the labour force. Moreover, while Bangladesh has demonstrated its capacity for achieving the goal of poverty reduction within the target timeframe, attaining food security and nutritional wellbeing still remains a challenge. The challenges with regard to reducing income inequality and the low economic participation of women also remain as major concerns.
Significant progress has been made in increasing equitable access in education (NER: 98.7 percent; girls: 99.4 percent, boys: 97.2 percent), reduction of dropouts, improvement in completion of the cycle, and implementation of a number of quality enhancement measures in primary education. Bangladesh has already achieved gender parity in primary and secondary enrolment. Initiatives have been taken to introduce pre-school education to prepare the children for formal schooling. The government is in the process of implementing a comprehensive National Education Policy (2010) to achieve its objectives. The Constitution of Bangladesh has provision for free and compulsory primary education. The challenges under MDG 2 include attaining the targets of primary education completion rate and the adult literacy rate. A large part of the physically and mentally retarded children remains out of the schooling system. The quality of education is also a challenge at the primary and higher levels.
Bangladesh has already achieved this goal i.e. gender parity in primary and secondary education at the national level. This positive development has occurred due to some specific public interventions focusing on girl students, such as stipends and exemption of tuition fees for girls in rural areas, and the stipend scheme for girls at the secondary level. Bangladesh has made significant progress in promoting the objectives of ensuring gender equality and empowerment of women. There has been steady improvement in the social and political empowerment scenario of women in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Government is committed to attaining the objective of CEDAW, Beijing Platform for Action and MDGs in conformity with the fundamental rights enshrined in the Bangladesh Constitution and has adopted the National Policy for Women‟s Advancement (2011) and a series of programs for ensuring sustainable development of women. There has been a sharp increase in the number of women parliamentarians elected (20 percent of total seats) in the last national election. However, wage employment for women in Bangladesh is still low. Only one woman out of every five is engaged in wage employment in the non-agricultural sector.
Bangladesh has already met the target of reducing under-five mortality rate: against the target of achieving 48 per 1,000 live births in 2015, it has already achieved 44 per 1,000 live births in 2011. The target of reducing the infant mortality rate is also on track. The successful programs for immunization, control of diarrhoeal diseases and Vitamin A supplementation are considered to be the most significant contributors to the decline in child and infant deaths along with potential effect of overall economic and social development. Despite these improvements, there are challenges ahead. While the mortality rates have improved, major inequalities among the population still need to be addressed. Childhood injuries, especially drowning, have emerged as a considerable public health problem responsible for a full quarter of the deaths among children 1-4 years of age.
According to the country‟s first MDG Progress Report, the maternal mortality ratio in 1990 was 574 per 100,000 live births in Bangladesh. However, according to Bangladesh Maternal Mortality Survey (BMMS), maternal mortality declined from 322 in 2001 to 194 in 2010, a 40 percent decline in nine years. The average rate of decline from the base year has been about 3.3 percent per year, compared with the average annual rate of reduction of 3.0 percent required for achieving the MDG in 2015. The BMMS 2001 and 2010 show that overall mortality among women in the reproductive ages has consistently declined during these nine years.
Bangladesh has performed well in halting communicable diseases under this goal. Available data show that the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Bangladesh currently is less than 0.1 percent and thus is still below an epidemic level. There was a significant improvement in the reduction of malarial deaths in the country over the years. Major interventions for malaria control undertaken include expanding quality diagnosis and effective treatment of 90 percent of malaria cases; promoting use of long lasting impregnated nets (LLIN) and insecticide-treated nets (ITN) in 100 percent households in the three hill districts; and intensive Information, Education and Communication (IEC) campaign for increasing mass awareness of prevention and control of malaria. Bangladesh has already achieved the MDG targets of TB case detection and cure rates.
At present there is only 19.4 percent of land in Bangladesh having tree cover with density of 10 percent and above. Based on the spatial dimension, the area having tree cover is much closer to the target (20 percent) set by the government but the density is much less than the target (>70 percent). Since 1991, there has been a steady increase in CO2 emission in Bangladesh. In 2007, the emission was 0.3 tonne per capita. At present the proportion of terrestrial and marine areas protected is 2.3 percent which is much less than the target of 5 percent. Data show that without considering the issue of arsenic contamination, 98.2 percent of the population of Bangladesh is using improved drinking water source; 63.6 percent of population is using improved sanitation in 2011. However, access to safe water for all is a challenge, as arsenic and salinity intrusion as a consequence of climate change fall out will exacerbate availability of safe water especially for the poor.
Between 1990-91 and 2010-11, the disbursed ODA as a proportion of Bangladesh‟s GDP has declined from 5.6 percent to 1.6 percent. During this period, per capita ODA disbursement fell from US$ 15.75 to US$ 12.01. During the period of 1990-91 to 1996-97, the share of grants and loans in total ODA was about the same. After the period, the share of grants is consistently declining while that of loans is rising. However, in 2010-11, the share of grants has increased to 48 percent of total ODA after a long period. Out of 34 member states of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), only nine countries provided US$ 363.99 million ODA to Bangladesh in 2010-11. The amount was only 20.5 percent of the total ODA received by Bangladesh in the year. It is observed that of the nine OECD countries, only three--Netherlands, Sweden and Norway-- comply with their commitment to provide more than 0.7 percent of their GNI as ODA to the developing countries. If we consider Bangladesh‟s ODA received from the OECD countries as percentage of their Gross National Income, South Korea is ranked first, followed by the United Kingdom, Denmark and Sweden. Moreover, if we consider ODA received by Bangladesh as percentage of total ODA from OECD countries, South Korea tops the countries followed by Japan, United Kingdom and Denmark. It is observed that total ODA disbursement in MDG sectors like education, health, social welfare, labour, public administration and social infrastructure have been receiving higher attention. These MDG sectors together along with agriculture and rural development received about 51 percent of total ODA disbursement in 2011. All ODA received from bilateral OECD/DAC donors was fully untied in 2011 against 82 percent in 2005 and 94 percent in 2007. The Government of Bangladesh has taken up plans to ensure universal access through harmonious development of telecommunication network and building a well-developed, strong and reliable telecommunication infrastructure for effective implementation of its ICT policy and ultimately for complementing the „Vision 2021‟ of the government. Cellular subscribers per 100 population are 64.6 in 2012 which was zero in 1990. The internet users per 100 population is 20.5 in 2012, which was 0.15, 0.20 and 3.4 in 2005, 2006 and 2008 respectively.
