What are the Millennium Development Goals?

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight goals to be achieved by 2015 that respond to the world's main development challenges. The MDGs are drawn from the actions and targets contained in the Millennium Declaration that was adopted by 189 nations-and signed by 147 heads of state and governments during the UN Millennium Summit in September 2000. What is Poverty? Poverty refers to the condition of not having the means to afford basic human needs, such as clean water, nutrition, health care, clothin and shelter. And relative poverty is the condition of having fewer resources or less income than others. As: 1.200 million people live on less than one dollar a day. 28.000 children die from poverty related causes everyday. More than 90% are suffering long-term malnourishment and micronutrient deficiency, because they don´t have nothing to eat, and in this world if there is no money, there is no food to eat. What is Hunger? We all know what hunger is. We recognize that feeling in our stomachs, and when we feel it, we don't usually have to much of a problem putting an end to it. But for more than 850 million people, the hunger never ends and every 3,6 seconds one person dies of starvation. Which are the objectives to eradicate this problem? Reduce the poverty and hunger from those countries that hase less. As more than 900 million people live in extreme poverty, before, they were more. Reduce by half the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a day. Reduce by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger. Solutions What can be done by Government to eradicate poverty and hunger Did you know that natural disasters and armed conflicts are affecting between 5% and 10% of hungry people worldwide. At present, there is a technology and food production capacity enouhg for all people. But the really problem is in the access and distribution of weakth, resources, markets and knowledge. The governments should provide more facilities for those countries whitout a charge, because these places have a large external debt, and after a natural disaster or armed conflict they became poorer; like in Haiti or Afghanistan. And there are many NGOs they can work with. What can common people do? We can: Sponsor a child Don't throw Food Don't wasting money on nonsenses Help NGOs We know what is really happening and if we do a hard effort, if all of us do a hard effort, the Millennium Development Goals could be achieve.

Solutions Of Child mortality

• Promoting the use of insecticide treated nets to help prevent malaria and supporting breastfeeding.

• The key to protecting children is preventing infection in parents and improving access to HIV prevention, treatment and care within maternal health services.

• Rich countries that send the requered vaccines for children wich are not boy puts a different vaccines , they are vaccinated.

Millennium Development Goals

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight international development goals that all 192 United Nations member states and at least 23 international organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015. They include reducing extreme poverty, reducing child mortalityrates, fighting disease epidemics such as AIDS, and developing a global partnership for development.

Background

In 2001, recognizing the need to assist impoverished nations more aggressively, UN member states adopted the targets. The MDGs aim to spur development by improving social and economic conditions in the world's poorest countries.

They derive from earlier international development targets, and were officially established at the Millennium Summit in 2000, where all world leaders present adopted the United Nations Millennium Declaration, from which the eight goals were promoted.

Reduce child mortality

Target 5: Between 1990 and 2015, reduce the under-five mortality rate by two thirds.

Progress

In 2005, over 10 million children died before their fifth birthday. Although a significant number of countries have succeeded in improving the health and wellbeing of babies and children in recent years – the countries with the highest burdens have made the least progress and in some the situation has actually worsened. Progress is increasingly uneven, leaving large disparities between countries as well as between sub-groups within countries.

Unless efforts are increased, there is little hope of eliminating avoidable child deaths. If current trends continue, the MDG will not be achieved until 2045 – 30 years late.

Around 400 million children have no access to safe water. Some 1.4 million children every year - and 3,900 children every day - die because they lack access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation.

Problems

• The health and well-being of women and their children are completely linked. There is a strong consensus that maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) programmes will only be effective if there is a continuum of care, from pregnancy through childbirth into childhood.
• Of the four million babies that die each year in the first 4 weeks of life (neonatal period), nearly three quarters could be prevented if women were adequately nourished and received appropriate care during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period.
• Most deaths to children under five years are attributable to acute respiratory infections (mostly pneumonia), diarrhoea, malaria, measles, HIV/AIDS and neonatal conditions
• HIV/AIDS is a huge and growing problem for children. In 2006, the estimated number of children under 15 years old living with HIV was 2.3 million – 87% of whom are in sub-Saharan Africa. By 2010, the figure is likely to rise to more than 20 million.

• Malnutrition increases the risk of dying from these diseases and over half of all child deaths occur in children who are underweight.
• Malaria is a major cause of anaemia in pregnant women and children

Millennium Development Goals

Target 3

What are the Millenium Development Goals?

They are 8 targets supposed to be achieved in 2015

Did you Know?

*Of the 1.3 billion people living in poverty around the world, 70% are women.

*Women do about 66% of the world´s work in return for less than 5% of its income

*In the least developed countries nearly twice as many women over age 15 are illiterate compared to men.

*Two-thirds of children denied primary education are girls,and 75% of the world´s 876 million illiterate adults are women.

*Women work two-thirds of the world´s working hours, produce half of the world´s food, and yet earn only 10% of the world´s income and own less than 1% of the world´s property.

GOAL 3

Every singlegoal is directly related to women´s roghts, and societies were women are not afford equal rights as men can never achieve development in a sustainable manner.

*Freedom.Men and women have the right to live their lives and rises their children in dignity, free frem hunger and from the fear of vialonce, oppresion or injustice. Democratic and participatory governance based on the will of the people best assured these rights. The equal rights and opportunities of women and men must be assured.

121 million children are not in school, most of them girls. If a family can afford school fees for only one child, it will likely be a boy who attends.

While most of the Millennium Development Goals face a deadline of 2015, the gender parity target was set to be achieved ten years earlier.

The percentage of women in parliaments has increased in the last decade, but regional averages are all below 20%, with the exception of developed countries.

Problems

One of the problems of frteedom is that girls still wait for equal primary school access in some regions.

All people must have the sames rights.

Solutions

*Eliminated gender disparity in primary and secondary education and at all levels.

*Poverty has a woman´s face. Global prosperity and peace will only be achieved once all the world´s people are empowered to order their own lives and provide for themselves and their families.

#2 Achieving Universal Primary School

WHAT ARE MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS?
The millenium development goals are eight international development goals that 192 United Nations member states and a least 23 international organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015
WHAT ARE THE GOALS?
1-Reducing Extreme Poverty and Hunger
2-Achieve Universal Primary School
3-Promode 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-Global Partnership for Development
ACHIEVE UNIVERSAL PRIMARY SCHOOL
Every human being shaved have the opportunity to make a better life for themselves.Unfortunately, too many children in the world today, grow up without this chance, because the are denied their basic right to even attend primary school
A sustanaible end to world poverty as we know it , as well as the path to peace and security, require that cities in every country are empowered to make positive choices and provide for themselves and their families.
PROBLEMS
-Since 1990 the countries of the world have called for all children be able to complete primary school and the majority of them are grils.121 million childre are out of school, 65 million girls and 56 million boys.
-There are 693 million primary aged children enrolled in school but there are still around 72 million primary aged children who aren't enrolled in school.
-A few countries remain off track and unlikely to reach the target of education for all by 2015.
SOLUTIONS-Educating girls and women has particular benefits for the health and prosperity of developing countries.
-Aloud the girls in school but the education must be free
-Change the laws of some countries wich denied the education for girls.
-Make new materials schools and build places for children to study
*In many areas of the world more than 90% of all children complete primary school. In the Middle East,Africa and South Asia are lower but have improved since 1990.However well countries are still illiterate

Ensure environmental sustainability

MDGs
The Millenium Development Goals are 8 international development goals that all 192 United Nations member states and at least 23 International organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015.

This are the 8 Millenium Development Goals:

- Eradicate extreme proverty and hunger.
-Achieve universal primary education.
-Promote gender equality and empower women.
-Reduce child mortality.
Improve maternal health.
-Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases.
-Ensure environmental sustainability.
-Develop a global partner ship for development.

In this proyect you will learn wich is the seventh goal and our own solutions :

ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY.

Sustainable development can be ensured only by protecting the environment and using it resources wisely. Poor people often dependent on natural resources for their livelihood, are the most affected by environmental degradation and natural disasters, the effects wich are worsened by environmental mismanagement.
Althought many contries have adopted principles of sustainable development and agreed to international accords on protecting the environment, land is still being degraded. Forests are being more lost and fisheries overused, plant and animal species are becoming extinct, and carbon emissions are leading to climate change.
Rich and poor contries alike have a stake in using environmental resources wisely.Good policies and economic growth, which improve people's life, can improve the environment.
The MDGs also call for improvements in the built environment. The world may achieve the target for access to water services , but improvement in basic sanitation services has been slow, and slums are growing as more people move into urbans areas.

OUR OWN SOLUTIONS

We must be aware about this problem, because we are the future of this society.If we try to find some solutions for this goal our descendents will be thankful.
We can do a lot of things to ensure the environment and we can change things too, for example.

-Some of us one used to spend half an hour or ah hour in the shower, and it isn't necessary , If we use the water responsibly we will have this resource for a long time.
-Reduce the amount of electricity used in our houses, because this electricity can be used in poor contries.
-We must use more public transport because the cars CO2 emissions are destroying the ozone layer.
-If we want the MDGs to be achieved we can do some demonstrations to demand governaments' urget measures.
-Decrease housing shortage, in the poorest cities and build houses for their habintants.
