World poverty eradication day today
ISLAMABAD, Oct 16: The international day for poverty eradication is being observed on Friday to create awareness about the population living in developing countries under poverty line.
The UNDP administrator, Mark Malloch Brown, in a message on the occasion, said an ambitious agenda to fight poverty at global level was adopted three years ago.
“The agenda, embodied in a set of eight feasible ‘millennium development goals’ (MDGs) aimed at cutting the poverty and hunger in the world at least by half by the year 2015,” the UNDP administrator said.—A Reporter
