The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are the world’s time bound and quantified targets for addressing extreme poverty in its many dimensions income poverty, hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter, and exclusion while promoting gender equality, education, and environmental sustainability (UN Millennium Project About the MDGs, pg 1).
