The MDGs and the human rights to water and sanitation 2010, para. 3
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In the United Nations Millennium Declaration of September 2000, leaders from 189 nations embraced a vision for the world in which developed and developing countries would work in partnership for the reduction of extreme poverty. To provide a framework for measuring progress, the poverty reduction commitments in section III of the Declaration were subsequently broken down into eight Millennium Development Goals, 18 targets and 48 indicators. The Goals address many dimensions of poverty, such as income poverty, hunger, lack of education, disease and inadequate access to water and sanitation. They also place responsibility upon the international community to assist in areas including trade, aid and debt relief.
