This part of the EU website focuses on the Millennium Development Goals

The EU joined world leaders in the pledge to eradicate poverty and save millions of lives spelled out in eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to be achieved by 2015. This global partnership has come a long way since its adoption in 2000. The UN Millennium Goals Report 2011 confirms significant progress on a number of goals. The Commission is making a major contribution to the process. The key results from the EU programmes are now summarized in the brochure "EU Contribution to the Millenium Development Goals " – available in all languages via the EU Bookshop.
