This would mean moving away from the situation of extreme poverty in which more than a third of the world' s population lives, and moving away from the extremely poor living conditions suffered by over a billion people. This is an extraordinary state of affairs, which certainly means that if this objective is to be achieved the international community as a whole will have to participate and intervene actively.
Det vil betyde, at mere end en tredjedel af verdens befolkning skal rives ud af den tilstand af ekstrem fattigdom, som de lever i, at livsbetingelserne for ca. 1 milliard mennesker skal rives ud af den ekstreme fattigdom, hvilket er en overvældende opgave, der helt sikkert kræver en kraftfuld deltagelse og en kraftfuld indsats fra verdenssamfundet i sin helhed, hvis dette mål skal nås.
