The Millennium Development Goals were established in the year 2000 and include eight anti-poverty targets to be accomplished by 2015.
Since then, according to the UN, enormous progress has been made towards achieving the MDGs.
On September 25th, countries had the opportunity to adopt a set of global goals to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda.
Each goal has specific targets to be achieved over the next 15 years.
