and
the
Millennium
Development
Goals
(MDGs)
have
successfully
focused
world
attention
and
action
on
ending
extreme
poverty
in
all
its
forms
and
reducing
gender
inequality.
The
fifteen-‐year
MDG

will
be
completed
at
the
end
of
2015.
The

finish
the

ending
extreme

and
hunger
as
a

urgency.
It
also
endeavored
to
place
poverty
reduction
within
the
broader
context
of
sustainable
development.
