Title
UN Progress Chart 2008
Abstract
In 2000, all 189 Member States of the United Nations adopted the Millennium Declaration. The Declaration
set out a collective vision for the future: a world with less poverty, hunger and disease, greater survival
prospects for mothers and their infants, education for all, equal opportunities for women, an improved
physical environment and a partnership between developed and developing countries to achieve these
objectives. The eight Millennium Development Goals provide a framework of time-bound targets by which
progress towards the fulfillment of the commitments in the Millennium Declaration is being measured.
The Declaration established 2015 as the target date for achievement of most of its quantifiable
commitments. Half the period to this target date has now passed. This chart provides an assessment of
progress towards a number of the key targets relating to each Goal. Trends are assessed on the basis of
data between 1990 and the most recent year for which information was available as of June 2008, when
this chart was prepared.
