The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight international development goals that all 192 United Nations member states and at least 23 international organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015. They include reducing extreme poverty, reducing child mortality rates, fighting disease epidemics such as AIDS, and developing a global partnership for development. BackgroundHeads of State at the Millennium SummitIn 2001, recognizing the need to assist impoverished nations more aggressively, UN member states adopted the targets. The MDGs aim to spur development by improving social and economic conditions in the world's poorest countries.

Yes, we do our part and spend more of our GDP on foreign aid than any other Western democracy (*proportionally*). Of course the US pays the largest amount, but we're only a country of 4.7 million.
