Millennium Development Goal 5
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were set at the 2000 Millennium Summit to accelerate global progress in development. Sexual and reproductive health is a prerequisite of all goals, particularly those related to gender and health. The most direct link is with MDG 5 of improving maternal health. Progress towards MDG 5 is monitored through achievement of two targets and their associated indicators for monitoring under MDG 5.
