The 21st century began with a new consensus — that ending poverty is the central purpose of development. Supported by an unprecedented political commitment to international cooperation, the 2000 United Nations General Assembly adopted the Millennium Declaration, which outlined three central objectives of the global community for the 21st century: development and the eradication of poverty; peace and security; and democracy and human rights. Accordingly, world leaders pledged to “spare no effort to free our fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty”.
