- CIVICUS
In 2000, world leaders promised to halve global poverty by 2015. Eight years later progress on these agreed objectives is woefully short of being achieved while the movements of people demanding action are growing exponentially. The 189 leaders who adopted the Millennium Development Goals in 2000 made a series of commitments that included halving the number of people living on less than a dollar a day, but the world is nowhere near achieving that goal. At the present rate, Sub-Saharan Africa will not reach some targets for 100 years or more.
