“Eradicate extreme
poverty & hunger”
MDG 1:ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY & HUNGER
WHAT IS EXTREME
POVERTY?
Extreme poverty was originally defined by the 
United Nations in 1995 as “a condition
characterized by severe deprivation of basic
human needs, including food, safe drinking
water, sanitation facilities, health, shelter,
education and information.

The reduction of extreme poverty and hunger

was the first Millennium Development Goal
(MDG1). Specifically, MDG1 set a target of
reducing the extreme poverty rate in half by
2015.
WHAT IS HUNGER?
Hunger is a state in which a person,
for a sustained period, is unable to
eat sufficient food to meet basic
nutritional needs.

In many cases, this resulted from

food supply disruptions caused by
war, plagues, or adverse weather.
WHY A GOAL ON POVERTY AND HUNGER?

Extreme poverty and chronic hunger

make development much more difficult:
Poverty leads to malnutrition and
illness, which reduce incomes and
economic productivity.

This “poverty trap” also impacts

development prospects on the macro
level. For this reason a goal is fixed on
poverty and hunger for develop a
country.
POVERTY AS A ROOT CAUSE OF HUNGER

Poverty of countries and extreme

poverty of households are the most
undisputable causes of hunger.
We can express it through a
figure……….
POVERTY AS A ROOT CAUSE OF HUNGER
10 MOST IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT MDG 1

1) The number of people living  on less than $1.25 per day  has
decreased in the last three decades, from half of the citizens in the
developing world in 1981 to 21% in 2010.

2) The  top five poorest countries in the world  are India (with 33% of
the world's poor), China (13%), Nigeria (7%), Bangladesh (6%) and the
Democratic Republic of Congo (5%).

3) About 22,000 children die each day due to  conditions of poverty.

4)  There are 16.4 million children living in poverty in the United States.
5) Israel has the highest poverty rate in the developed world, about
20.9%.
 CONTINUED……..
6) More than 7.5 million women fell into the "extreme poverty
category" in 2010.

7) Around 1 in 8 people in the world,  about 842 million people, were

estimated to be suffering from chronic hunger between 2011-13.

8) A child born in the world's poorest nations has a 1 in 6 chance of

dying before their 5th birthday.

9) In high-income countries, the odds are about 1 in 165. 

10) If we maintain the same rate of progress toward eradicating

poverty that we've had since 2000, we would  reach the target
around 2025-2030.
CAUSES OF EXTREME POVERTY AND
HUNGER
Firstly, Floods and droughts are the greatest threat to
food security.

Secondly, war, violence and fighting displace millions of

people from their homes, leading to some of the world's
worst hunger emergencies.
 
Thirdly, high input prices of seed and other necessary
things make it difficult for farmers to provide food for
their families.
 CONTINUED…….
Fourthly, lack of key agricultural infrastructure, such as
enough roads, warehouses and irrigation. This leads to high
transport costs, lack of storage facilities and unreliable
water supplies; consequently limiting agricultural yields and
access to food.

Fifthly, over-exploitation of environment caused by poor

farming practices, deforestation and over cropping which
in the process exhaust the earth's fertility and spreading
the roots of hunger.

Sixthly, high consumer prices of food, annoys the situation

for non-farming population.
PRESENT SITUATION IN THE WORLD
54%of developing countries have met or are on track to meet the goal of
cutting extreme poverty in half.
700 million fewer people lived in extreme poverty in 2010 than in 1990.
29%of countries have halved child malnutrition or are on track.
1.2billion people around the world still live in extreme poverty.
Two-thirdsof the world’s poorest people live in just five countries
-India, China, Nigeria, Bangladesh and the Democratic Republic of
Congo.
18%of the world’s population was living in extreme poverty in 2010, down
from 36% in 1990.
Insub-Saharan Africa, there were 58 million more poor people in 1999
than in 1990.
Theproportion of hungry people in developing countries was reduced by 3
percentage points in the 1990s, despite population growth.

 CURRENT SITUATION IN BANGLADESH
Since 2000, Bangladesh made significant improvement on eradicating
poverty and hunger, but didn't improve on employment indicators. Following
bar chart shows the performance of Bangladesh on MDG Goal 1 indicators. 
 CONTINUED…….
Even though Bangladesh didn't improve much on employment indicators,
Bangladesh is actually on the upper bucket (among top 25% countries)
on many of the employment indicators. Bangladesh also made significant
improvement on eradicating poverty. Not just it made significant
progress; it is in the upper-middle bucket (among top 26-50%
countries) for many poverty indicators. It is still in lower bucket (worst
25% countries) for Poverty headcount ratio at $1.25 a day (% of
population) though.

Performance of Bangladesh:
 Progress status (year: 2012): 39.98% Increase, since 2000.

 Current status (year: 2012): Bangladesh is in the lower bucket, with

the position 93 (value: 11.17) out of 123 countries.
[Best: Russian Federation, position: 1, value: 0.0; Worst: "Congo - Dem.
Rep.", position: 123, value: 52.76]

 HOW TO ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY & HUNGER

The World Bank has a set a goal of reducing extreme poverty

to 9 percent by 2020 -- which will require more than just
economic growth.

We can reduce poverty and hunger by:

 Investing in agriculture

 Creating jobs

 Expanding social safety nets

 Expanding nutrition programs that target children under 2

years of age
 Universalizing education

 Promoting gender equality

 Protecting vulnerable countries during crises.

 CONTINUED…….
There are 3 targets to eradicate extreme poverty
and hunger. `They are-
 
 Target 1:Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the
proportion of people whose income is less than $1
a day.
Indicators for monitoring progress:
 Proportion of population below $1 (PPP) per day.

 Poverty gap ratio.

 Share of poorest quintile in national consumption.

 CONTINUED…….
 Target 2: Achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all,
including women and young people.

Indicators for monitoring progress:

 Growth rate of GDP per person employed

 Employment-to-population ratio

 Proportion of employed people living below $1 (PPP) per day

 Proportion of own-account and contributing family workers in total

employment.
 Target 3:Halve, between 1990 and 2015,the proportion of people who
suffer from hunger.
Indicators for monitoring progress:
 Prevalence of underweight children under-five years of age

 Proportion of population below minimum level of dietary energy consumption.

 IMPACTS OF ERADICATING POVERTY
We have the following impacts on poverty eradicates in
Bangladesh due to:

 Positiveimpacts: 
improved maternal health (decreases maternal death) 
improved income 
improved export/import/business 
improved development of country 
improved education
  Negative impacts: 
decreased forest lands 
increased migration
IMPACTS OF ERADICATING HUNGER

By eradicating hunger in Bangladesh, we

have the following impacts on hunger
eradicates in Bangladesh due to:
 Positive impacts: 
- decreased debts/loans
- decreased mortality rate 
- improved education 
- improved employment
 CONCLUSION
Eradicating extreme poverty and hunger for Bangladesh
over time and found that Bangladesh made significant
improvement over last decade. The impacts we found for
improving goal 1 are very interesting. We found significant
dependence on important factors, such as improved income,
improved development of country, improved
export/import/business, improved education, decreased
mortality rate, decreased foreign fund dependency,
decreased debt and loans, and decreased business overhead.
This means, so far, with the improvement on education also
helped in very important factors. Unfortunately, as a
consequences we have increased environmental pollution,
decreased forest land and increased migration, as well.
