Solutions To Global Issues - As  Hite and Seitz (2016) discuss

Solutions To Global Issues

As  Hite and Seitz (2016) discuss in Chapter 2: Wealth and Poverty, the  Millennium Development Goals were created to provide developing  countries support through the partnership of developed countries. The  first goal is to “eradicate extreme poverty and hunger” in the world. 

According to the  textbook, population is still increasing in the world’s poorest regions.  Take a look at the Millennium Development Goals report (https://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/2015_MDG_Report/pdf/MDG%202015%20rev%20(July%201).pdf).

The  report notes that progress in reducing extreme hunger is uneven across  regions and countries. Looking at the graph on page 14 of the report,  which countries have the least reduction in extreme hunger? Which  countries have the greatest reduction in extreme hunger? What factors  contribute to this uneven progress? What are some possible strategies  for creating more progress in these countries?
