Millennium Development Goals

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals are eight targets that all
191 UN Member States have agreed to achieve by 2015.

The United Nations Millennium Declaration, signed in September 2000

commits world leaders to fight discrimination against women and children,
disease, hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and environmental degradation. All of these
goals cannot be attained without addressing each and everyone. All of them
influence, affect and depend on better global health programs and policies.

1. Developing countries particularly in Africa and Asia suffer from

extreme poverty and hunger. Poverty and hunger leads to severe
malnutrition which leads to lifelong physical and cognitive
(learning and reasoning) damage and affects health, well-being
and the economy. Some key suggestions to eradicate poverty
and hunger are:
● Education
● Promoting gender equality.
● Producing more jobs.
● Investing more in agriculture.
● Strengthened nutrition programs for children and infants C Support and
protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises.

 2. Persons, particularly women who are educated, are more likely
to seek medical care especially during pregnancy, ensuring
proper nutrition for their family, adopting healthy sanitary
practices and ensuring immunization of children. As an effect,
infants and children have better survival rates, are healthier and
better nourished. If these are attained, children who receive
primary education are more likely to:
● Marry and have their own families at a later stage in life.
● Practice family planning and have fewer children.
● Know rights, responsibilities and civic obligations.
● Seek employment and sustain personal and family needs.
● Have decreased risk of getting sexually transmitted infections like
HIV/AIDS.
● Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during
crises.

3. Gender equality means equal representation of men and

women. It implies that all genders should have equal value and
treatment. Equal gender treatment empowers women and
other groups creating opportunities in education, work,
finances, and other aspects which improves the economy and
lessen effects of financial crises. Gender equality can be
achieved through:
● Early childhood development intervention.
● Promotion of women’s political rights and involvement.
● Improved reproductive health programs and policies.
● Education and integrating gender equality in school curriculum.
● Improved women’s access to work and strengthened labor policies for
women.
● Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during
crises.

4. Programs and policies which help reduce child mortality like

improving nutritional intake, healthcare facilities and
infrastructure, and other fields which improve children’s lives.
Strengthening local and national health programs and
policies is one way to reduce child mortality. This include:
● Immunization programs
● Assuring the survival and better health of mothers.
● Improving reproductive health programs and policies.
● Better nutrition program for infants, children and mothers.

 5. Improved maternal health is not only about mother’s health
but also involves the health and wellness of the family. Maternal
health also helps eradicate other problems like poverty, gender
inequality, decreased workforce, lower birth deaths, and
disability of women. Some ways to improve maternal health
include:
● Improved and proper nutrition of mothers.
● Teaching the benefits of birth spacing and small family size.
● Educating young boys and girls about the importance of maternal health.
● Better and improved access to hospital care especially obstetric-
gynecology, prenatal and postnatal care.

6. Emerging and re-emerging diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria,

influenza and other diseases affect productivity and growth of
nations. Some of the effects of disease outbreak are loss of jobs,
shortage in professional workers, and creating social crises.
Children are the most vulnerable and are exposed to exploitation
and abuse undermining their normal growth and development.
Some ways to combat diseases include effective prevention,
treatment and care like:
● Improved housing conditions.
● Increased access to anti-malarial medicines.
● Promoting safer sex behavior and preventive education for all.
● Promoting Tuberculosis (TB) screening of HIV/AIDS persons and
● TB - Directly Observed Treatment Short (TB-DOTS) Course therapy.
● Promoting the use of insecticide-treated nets to fight mosquito borne
diseases.

7. Investing and supporting sustainable energy like solar, wind

and water energy help support jobs, create business
opportunities, and save remaining non-renewable energy
sources. Environmental sustainability assures peoples to live
healthier and enjoy a clean and green environment. Some of
the benefits of a sustainable environment are:
● Cleaner air and environment.
● Clean, environment-friendly, and renewable energy.
● New and aspiring jobs and business in energy.
● Increased access to sanitation.

 8. The United Nations, World Health Organization, World Bank and
governments work together to make sure there is fair trade and
that heavily indebted countries obtain relief and funds to combat
poverty, malnutrition and funds for education and social projects.
Some benefits of global partnership are:
● Expanded international trade agreements.
● Improved access to affordable medicine.
● Reduced poverty through government debt relief grant.
● Developed information and communication technology (ICT)
infrastructure.

The United Nations Development Program’s Quick Wins

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) works with different

nations and organizations to withstand crises, empower lives and improve the
quality of life for all. One of the UNDP’s intervention programs to achieve the eight
millennium development goals is called Quick Wins. Quick Wins are actions that
can be immediately used within the community or locale to produce effective
results. If applied continuously, Quick Wins could change people’s views, and
beliefs and trigger actions which could lead to helping millions of lives and
countries find their right path towards their goals. Below are some examples of
UNDP’s Quick Wins:
• No school fees and free access to educational materials and facilities in
schools to ensure that all children attend classes. This eliminates poor
families’ concept that education is only for those who can afford it.
Finances can include donor assistance from partnerships with private
groups.
• Children are provided with free school meals and take-home rations using
locally produced food.
• Regular annual deworming for all school children especially in
impoverished areas to improve health and education.
• Provision for poor farmers of affordable supplies of soil nitrogen and other
soil nutrients.
• Design community nutrition programs for pregnant, nursing mothers and
children below five years of age. These include breastfeeding, feeding
programs and micronutrient supplements like vitamin A and zinc.
• Offer basic skills training of community members in health, farming,
technical-vocational, and infrastructure.
• Free basic health services sponsored by private organizations.
• Expanded access to sexual and reproductive health information and
services. These include family planning information, campaigns and
services.

 • Distribution of free, effective and efficient insecticide-treated bed nets to
families especially in malaria and dengue-endemic areas.
• Active national and local campaigns to reduce violence against women
and children.
• Reform and enforce legislation protecting and empowering women’s and
children’s rights.
• Empowering women to play an important role in formulating and
monitoring poverty reduction strategies, programs and policies.
• Allowing government-owned hospitals, health centers, schools and other
social service institutions free access to electricity, water, sanitation and
internet using sustainable and renewable energies like solar panels, wind
and geothermal generators.
• Plant endemic trees at the community level to provide shade, produce,
watershed protection, windbreak and timber.
