The United Nations proclaimed the Millennium Development Goals in the year 2000, committing their nations to a new global partnership to reduce extreme poverty and setting out a series of time-bound targets, all with a deadline of 2015, that have become known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

Meeting the long-standing donor commitment to contribute just 70 cents of every $100 of income to the fight against poverty can generate the funding needed for developing countries to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
