1
Introduction

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are a set of eight
interdependent goals aimed at reducing poverty and improving the quality of
life, particularly of the rural poor, and represent a global partnership
resulting from the Millennium Declaration at the UN’s Millennium summit
of 2000.

193 United Nations member states and at least 23 international organizations
agreed to achieve these goals by the year 2015.

The MDGs are internationally considered as benchmarks of the progress a
country is making towards sustainable development.
