In September 2000, governments around the world unanimously adopted
the United
Nations Millennium Declaration. In that Declaration, governments
agreed that they would spare no effort to free their fellow men, women
and children from the abject and dehumanising conditions of extreme
poverty.
The Millennium Declaration has given primacy to the work of UNESCAP,
particularly to its fight to reduce poverty in the region. Eight
interrelated goals that are considered vital to human development
are contained in the Millennium Declaration; each of them is time-bound
and measurable. UNESCAP concentrates in addressing the following five
key Goals: |
|
|
|
Goal 1: |
|
Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger |
Goal 3: |
|
Promote gender equality and empower women |
Goal 6: |
|
Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases |
Goal 7: |
|
Ensure environmental sustainability |
Goal 8: |
|
Develop a global partnership |
