On 8 September 2000, following a three day Millennium Summit of world leaders at the headquarters of the United Nations, the General Assembly adopted the Millennium Declaration.[1]
A follow-up outcome of the resolution was passed by the General Assembly on 14 December 2000 to guide its implementation.[2]
Progress on implementation of the Declaration was reviewed at the 2005 World Summit of leaders. The Australian-based education program the Global Poverty Project is an initiative that is currently aiding in the fulfilment of these goals.
