聯(lián)合國(guó)千年發(fā)展目標(biāo)
新千年開始之際，全世界的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人在聯(lián)合國(guó)制定了一份廣泛的愿景，旨在從多個(gè)方面著手抗擊貧困。這一愿景轉(zhuǎn)化為8個(gè)千年發(fā)展目標(biāo)，成為在新千年最初的15年中全世界的總體發(fā)展框架。
8項(xiàng)目標(biāo)包括：（1）消滅極端貧窮和饑餓；（2）實(shí)現(xiàn)普及初等教育；（3）促進(jìn)兩性平等并賦予婦女權(quán)力；（4）降低兒童死亡率；（5）改善產(chǎn)婦保健；（6）與艾滋病、瘧疾和其他疾病作斗爭(zhēng)；（7）確保環(huán)境的可持續(xù)能力；（8）制訂促進(jìn)發(fā)展的全球伙伴關(guān)系。
經(jīng)過(guò)中國(guó)政府、社會(huì)各界、貧困地區(qū)廣大干部群眾共同努力以及國(guó)際社會(huì)積極幫助，中國(guó)7億多農(nóng)村貧困人口擺脫貧困。2015年，聯(lián)合國(guó)千年發(fā)展目標(biāo)在中國(guó)基本實(shí)現(xiàn)。中國(guó)是全球最早實(shí)現(xiàn)千年發(fā)展目標(biāo)中減貧目標(biāo)的發(fā)展中國(guó)家，為全球減貧事業(yè)作出了重大貢獻(xiàn)。
Millennium Development Goals
At the start of this millennium, world leaders framed a wide-ranging vision at the United Nations, which was formulated as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), to be fulfilled by 2015.
There were eight goals:
(1) Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger;
(2) Achieve universal primary education;
(3) Promote gender equality and empower women;
(4) Reduce child mortality;
(5) Improve maternal health;
(6) Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases;
(7) Ensure environmental sustainability; and
(8) Develop a global partnership for development.
With concerted efforts on the part of the Chinese government, social sectors and people in impoverished regions, and the international community, more than 70 million rural Chinese have been lifted out of poverty. By 2015, China had largely fulfilled the MDGs, becoming the first developing country to hit the target of reducing poverty ahead of the 2015 deadline and making an impressive contribution to global poverty reduction.
