It was established on 8 December 1985 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.<\/p>\n<p>The SAARC Charter states that the objectives of the organization are to promote the welfare of the peoples of South Asia and to improve their living standards; to accelerate economic growth, social progress, and cultural development in the region; to promote peace and stability in the region; and to cooperate with other international and regional organizations with similar aims and purposes.<\/p>\n<p>In 1998, SAARC declared the year 1998 as the &#8220;Poverty Eradication Year&#8221;. This was done in recognition of the fact that poverty is one of the most serious problems facing the people of South Asia.

The member states made significant progress in reducing poverty during this time. They also developed new strategies and programs to address the problem of poverty.
