Which of the following is not a Millennium Development Goal (MDG)? Correct Answer Achieve universal access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene

In September 2000, 189 world leaders came together at the United Nations in New York for the Millennium Summit. At this Summit, they signed the Millennium Declaration in which they firmly pledged to free their fellow human beings from the “abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty,” to “freeing the entire human race from want,” and to “making the right to development a reality for everyone.”

Millennium Development Goals and Targets:

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
   • Reduce by half the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a day
   • Reduce by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger
2. Achieve universal primary education
   • Ensure that all boys and girls complete a full course of primary schooling
3. Promote gender equality and empower women
   • Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education preferably by 2005, and at all levels by 2015
4. Reduce child mortality
   • Reduce by two thirds the mortality rate among children under five
5. Improve maternal health
   • Reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria other diseases
   • Halt and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS
   • Halt and begin to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases
7. Ensure environmental sustainability
   • Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programs; reverse the loss of environmental resources
   • Reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water
   • Achieve significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers, by 2020
8. Develop a global partnership for development
   • Develop further an open trading and financial system that is rule-based, predictable, and non-discriminatory, including a commitment to good governance, development, and poverty reduction — nationally and internationally.

Hence: "Achieve universal access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene" is not Millennium Development Goal.
