The millennium development goals (MDG) aspired to improve the lives of people in the developing world. There is a decline in the percentage of world’s population living in extreme poverty, but still a lot of the poor are living in middle income countries. There are more poor people living in India and in some of the Middle Eastern countries than in the whole of Africa. This scenario is also likely to evolve over the coming decade. Subsequently, we may see an entirely different world by the end of 2030.
