The UAE is committed to helping countries of the world achieve the Millennium Development Goals, according to the UAE’s foreign aid report. At its Millennium Summit in 2000, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed eight Millennium Development Goals, each with quantifiable development targets to be reached by 2015. These include reducing the number of people suffering from hunger by half, ensuring universal primary education, and cutting the mortality rate of children under five by two thirds. In the education sector, UAE donors committed over Dh340 million.Source: Gulf News
