Recent United Nations conferences have adopted several goals for the twenty-first century. The Bank is helping to achieve the goals and will monitor them in the countries it assists. The goals are to:
- reduce by half the proportion of people living in extreme poverty by 2015;
- achieve universal primary education in all countries by 2015;
- achieve gender equality in primary and secondary education by 2005;
- reduce infant and child mortality by two thirds, and maternal deaths by three quarters, by 2015;
- provide universal access to reproductive health services by 2015; and
- reverse current global and national loss of environmental resources by 2015.
Meeting goals as ambitious and important as these will require significant efforts by the global community.
