Millenium Development Goals

Архитекторждийн Хяацгаарлалтгүй - architects without borders (Mongolian). After a year working in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, as an international volunteer in development in a construction college, I had a brief introduction to poverty and disadvantage. I began this page with the broad aim of investigating some things which may be done in our lifetime. For example, considering the Millenium Development Goals - it seems important to work towards 2015, starting now.

My introduction to international development in 2003 was through Oxfam, (Community Leadership Programme, India). For a very basic introduction, this is Oxfam's current international campaign to rally people toward those daunting-sounding goals.

• Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
• Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education
• Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women
• Goal 4: Reduce child mortality
• Goal 5: Improve maternal health
• Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
• Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability
• Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development
