The document discusses the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which are 8 targets established by the UN to reduce poverty by 2015. It provides an overview of the MDGs and their focus on issues like poverty, education, health, and environmental sustainability. It also analyzes the Philippines' progress and challenges in meeting targets related to reducing poverty, child mortality, maternal health, disease prevention, access to water and sanitation, and slum upgrading.

1. The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Unit 4 NSTP-CWTS2 February 2008

2. The MDGs A set of 8 time-bound targets which aims to end extreme poverty worldwide by 2015 An offshoot of the UN Millennium Summit, where 189 Heads of State signed the Millennium Declaration Provides a benchmark for the Philippines and other countries in setting goals and targets to wipe out poverty and ensure human development

3. The MDGs Eradicate extreme poverty & hunger Achieve universal primary education Promote gender equality & empower women Reduce child mortality Improve maternal health Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases Ensure environmental sustainability Develop a global partnership for development

4. MDGs are unique because.. Goals represent a compact between all the world's major economic players The world has never before seen so much prosperity Performance against the goals is being monitored The Goals are clearly achievable

Health-Related MDG HEALTH GOAL (1) : Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger TARGET: Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger INDICATOR : Prevalence of underweight children under five years of age Proportion of population below minimum level of dietary energy consumption

6. National target for extreme poverty has been reached… But regions in Visayas and Mindanao trail behind ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY AND HUNGER 1 Proportion of population below subsistence threshold, 2003 Source: NSCB
