Eradicate extreme
hunger &
poverty
Ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere,
boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a
full course of primary schooling. The
government is donating money to help build
schools. Teachers are volunteering and being
sent over to help them. They aim for all
children to be educated up to primary level
and basic life skills they are taught.
Promote gender equality and empower women
Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education,
preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than
2015. In Bangladesh, Australia has helped more children to attend
school. More than 700,000 students, particularly girls who have
never enrolled or who have dropped out of mainstream schools,
were given the opportunity of an education in the year to June
2009. Women are given economic opportunities with the support
of Australia
Reduce
child
mortality
Reduce by two-thirds, between
1990 and 2015, the under-five
mortality rate. The goal to reduce
child mortality , in partnership
with governments, WHO and
others, UNICEF aims to scale up
proven, high-impact, cost-effective
health and nutrition interventions
to reduce the number of neonatal
and young child deaths from
preventable and easily treatable
causes.
Improve maternal health
Reduce by three-quarters, between 1990 and
2015, the maternal mortality ratio
Achieve universal access to reproductive
health Progress is certainly possible.
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka reduced maternal
mortality ratios through increased use of
midwives and community health workers, as
well as improved infrastructure, such as
transport to clinics. And in only eight years,
Egypt was able to cut the maternal mortality in
half, through a comprehensive boost to quality
of medical care and community support for
women in pregnancy and childbirth.
Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS
Achieve, by 2010, universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS for all those who need it
Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major
diseases. The aid program also provides support in areas that underpin good public health
systems such as national health policy development and planning, disease surveillance
systems, and pharmaceutical supply and regulation.
The lack of functioning health systems constrains the delivery of improved services.
Australia addresses this by supporting health sector reform and management at national
and local levels. Support is provided to strengthen service delivery and increase access for
the poor to affordable services, including community based health services.
The aid program also helps rebuild health systems in post-conflict situations, as in East Timor
and the Solomon Islands.
Non-communicable diseases are also a focus of health sector interventions, particularly in
the Pacific.
Ensure environmental
sustainability
Integrate the principles of sustainable development
into country policies and programs and reverse the
loss of environmental resources. Reduce biodiversity
loss, achieving, by 2010, a significant reduction in the
rate of loss. Halve, by 2015, the proportion of people
without sustainable access to safe drinking water and
basic sanitation. Have achieved by 2020 a significant
improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum
dwellers. Deforestation, particularly in tropical
developing countries, is estimated to cause 20 per
cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore,
reducing deforestation and forest degradation is
potentially a highly cost–effective way of reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. The United nations climate
change conference in Bali in December 2007
indicated support for demonstration activities to
Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Forest
Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD+), with a
view to possible incorporation of REDD+ into a future
international climate change agreement.
