The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) form a blueprint agreed to by all the world’s countries and leading development institutions. The MDGs have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and to lift millions of people out of extreme poverty.
The 2008 essay competition challenged students to select one of the MDGs and support how Aga Khan Foundation and Aga Khan Development Network are helping to ensure that this goal is being reached in individual countries and communities worldwide. The competition encouraged participants to learn about innovative solutions by reducing poverty in Asia and Africa.<!–
