First, the MDGs provide a common set of priorities for addressing poverty. This
unprecedented level of agreement between national governments, international
agencies, and the United Nations system brings both political momentum and
focus to development efforts.
Second, health is at the heart of the MDGs - a recognition that health is central
to the global agenda of reducing poverty as well as an important measure of
human well-being. Health is represented in three of the eight goals, and makes
an acknowledged contribution to the achievement of all the other goals, in
particular those related to the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger,
education, and gender equality. Importantly, the health goals also focus on
problems which disproportionally affect the poor.
Third, the MDGs set quantifiable and ambitious targets against which to
measure progress. These provide an indication of whether efforts are on track,
and a means of holding decision-makers to account.
