17. 1. ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY AND HUNGER –
Developing countries particularly in Africa and Asia suffer
from extreme poverty and hunger. Poverty and hunger lead to severe
malnutrition which leads to lifelong physical and
cognitive (learning and reasoning) damage and
affects health, well-being and the economy.
Some key suggestions to eradicate poverty and
hunger are:
 Education
 Promoting gender equality
 Producing more jobs
 Investing more in agriculture
 Strengthened nutrition programs for children and infants


18. 2. ACHIEVE UNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATION –
Persons, particularly women who are educated, are more likely to
seek medical care especially during pregnancy, ensuring proper
nutrition for their family, adopting healthy sanitary practices and
ensuring immunization of children. As an effect, infants and children
have better survival rates, are healthier and better nourished. If
these are attained, children who receive primary education are more
likely to:
 Marry and have their own families at a later stage in life
 Practice family planning and have fewer children

that all gender should have equal value and treatment. Equal gender
treatment empowers women and other groups creating opportunities in
education, work, finances, and other aspects which improves the economy
and lessen effects of financial crises.
Gender equality can be achieved through:
 Early childhood development intervention
 Promotion of women’s political rights and involvement

programs and policies is one way to reduce child mortality.
This includes:
 Immunization programs
 Assuring the survival and better health of mothers
 Improving reproductive health programs and policies
 Better nutrition program for infants, children
and mothers.

21. 5. IMPROVED MATERNAL HEALTH - is not only
about mother’s health but also involves the health and wellness of the
family. Maternal health also helps eradicate other problems like
poverty, gender inequality, decreased workforce, lower birth deaths,
and disability of women.
Some ways to improve maternal health include:
 Improved and proper nutrition of mothers
 Teaching the benefits of birth spacing and small family size
 Educating young boys and girls about
the importance of maternal health

care especially obstetric gynecology, prenatal
and postnatal care.

Emerging and re-emerging diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria, influenza
and other diseases affect productivity and growth of nations. Some of the
effects of disease outbreak are loss of jobs, shortage in professional
workers, and creating social crises. Children are the most vulnerable and
are exposed to exploitation and abuse undermining their normal growth
and development. Some ways to combat diseases include effective
prevention, treatment and care Like:
 Improved housing conditions
 Increased access to anti-malarial medicines
 Promoting safer sex behavior and preventive education for all

Investing and supporting sustainable energy like solar, wind and
water energy help support jobs, create business opportunities, and
save remaining non-renewable energy sources. Environmental
sustainability assures peoples to live healthier and enjoy a clean and
green environment.
Some of the benefits of a sustainable environment
are:

malnutrition and funds for education and social projects.
Some benefits of global partnership are:
 Expanded international trade agreements
