ASAP and the millennium goals

The Millennium Goals are eight international development goals that in 2000 all 192 United Nations member states have agreed to achieve by the year 2015. They include reducing extreme poverty, reducing child mortality rates, fighting disease epidemics such as AIDS, and developing global partnerships for development.

	The goals are:
		Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
		Achieve universal primary education
		Promote gender equality and empower women
		Reduce Child Mortality Rate
		Improve maternal health
		Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
		Ensure environmental sustainability
		Develop a global partnership for development

Dutch policy for development also employs the Millennium Goals, and also ASAP tries to contribute in achieving those goals. Especially goal 1, 2 and 4 receive great attention by ASAP, but also on the other goals is worked a lot.
