Abstract
At the Millennium Summit in September
2000, 189 member states of the United Nations
reaffi rmed their commitment to work
towards sustainable development and elimination
of poverty. The Millennium Declaration
has led to the adoption of eight Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs), 18 specifi c targets,
and 48 indicators, as a broad framework
for measuring the development progress.
The Millennium Development Goals are the
key goals that were defi ned and agreed upon
as a result of the global United Nations conferences
and summits of the 1990s. The validity
and relevance of the Millennium Development
Goals were again confi rmed by the
World Summit on Sustainable Development
in September 2002.
By adopting the Millennium Declaration
the Republic of Macedonia committed itself
to reducing the poverty, to ensuring a quality
primary education and sustained environment,
to improving gender balance and
reducing infectious diseases, including HIV/
AIDS, and to lowering maternal and child
mortality
