A framework of 8 goals, 18 targets and 48 indicators to measure progress towards
the Millennium Development goals was adopted by a consensus of experts from the
United Nations Secretariat and IMF, OECD and the World Bank. (Road Map towards
the Implementation of the United Nations Millennium Declaration, A/56/326 (PDF)).

loss, achieving, by 2010, a significant reduction in the rate of loss
Some of the indicators listed below are monitored
separately for the least developed countries (LDCs), Africa, landlocked
developing countries and small island developing States.
-

indebted poor countries (HIPC) and cancellation of official bilateral
debt; and more generous ODA for countries committed to poverty reduction
-
Target 8.C: Address the special
needs of landlocked developing countries and small island developing
States (through the Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development

The Millennium Development Goals and
targets come from the Millennium Declaration, signed by 189 countries, including
147 heads of State and Government, in September 2000 (http://www.un.org/millennium/declaration/ares552e.htm)
and from further agreement by member states at the 2005 World Summit (Resolution
adopted by the General Assembly - A/RES/60/1,
http://www.un.org/Docs/journal/asp/ws.asp?m=A/RES/60/1). The goals and
targets are interrelated and should be seen as a whole. They represent a
partnership between the developed countries and the developing countries "to
create an environment - at the national and global levels alike - which is
conducive to development and the elimination of poverty".
