The final MDG Report found that the 15-year effort has produced the most successful anti-poverty movement in history:
Since 1990, the number of people living in extreme poverty has declined by more than half.
The proportion of undernourished people in the developing regions has fallen by almost half.
The primary school enrolment rate in the developing regions has reached 91 percent, and many more girls are now in school compared to 15 years ago.
Remarkable gains have also been made in the fight against HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.
The under-five mortality rate has declined by more than half, and maternal mortality is down 45 percent worldwide.
The target of halving the proportion of people who lack access to improved sources of water was also met.
