8 millennium goals Izabella Mytkowski

Eradicat e extreme hunger & poverty Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than $1 a day Achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young people Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger

Ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling. The government is donating money to help build schools. Teachers are volunteering and being sent over to help them. They aim for all children to be educated up to primary level and basic life skills they are taught. Achieve universal primary education
4
Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015. In Bangladesh, Australia has helped more children to attend school. More than 700,000 students, particularly girls who have never enrolled or who have dropped out of mainstream schools, were given the opportunity of an education in the year to June 2009. Women are given economic opportunities with the support of Australia Promote gender equality and empower women

Reduce by two-thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under-five mortality rate. The goal to reduce child mortality, in partnership with governments, WHO and others, UNICEF aims to scale up proven, high-impact, cost-effective health and nutrition interventions to reduce the number of neonatal and young child deaths from preventable and easily treatable causes.

Improve maternal health Reduce by three-quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio Achieve universal access to reproductive health Progress is certainly possible. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka reduced maternal mortality ratios through increased use of midwives and community health workers, as well as improved infrastructure, such as transport to clinics. And in only eight years, Egypt was able to cut the maternal mortality in half, through a comprehensive boost to quality of medical care and community support for women in pregnancy and childbirth.

Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS Achieve, by 2010, universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS for all those who need it Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases. The aid program also provides support in areas that underpin good public health systems such as national health policy development and planning, disease surveillance systems, and pharmaceutical supply and regulation. The lack of functioning health systems constrains the delivery of improved services. Australia addresses this by supporting health sector reform and management at national and local levels. Support is provided to strengthen service delivery and increase access for the poor to affordable services, including community based health services. The aid program also helps rebuild health systems in post-conflict situations, as in East Timor and the Solomon Islands. Non-communicable diseases are also a focus of health sector interventions, particularly in the Pacific. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases

Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programs and reverse the loss of environmental resources. Reduce biodiversity loss, achieving, by 2010, a significant reduction in the rate of loss. Halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation. Have achieved by 2020 a significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers. Deforestation, particularly in tropical developing countries, is estimated to cause 20 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, reducing deforestation and forest degradation is potentially a highly cost–effective way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The United nations climate change conference in Bali in December 2007 indicated support for demonstration activities to Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD+), with a view to possible incorporation of REDD+ into a future international climate change agreement. Ensure environmental sustainability
