The goal of the Decade was to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people living in extreme poverty. The Decade was based on the Millennium Development Goals, which were adopted by the United Nations in 2000.

The proportion of people living in extreme poverty fell from 29.7% in 1990 to 14.5% in 2015. However, the Decade also faced some challenges. The global financial crisis of 2008-2009 slowed progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. In addition, some countries, such as Afghanistan and Somalia, experienced conflict and instability, which made it difficult to reduce poverty.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the challenges, the First United Nations Decade for the Eradication of Poverty made significant progress in reducing poverty. The Decade helped to raise awareness of the issue of poverty <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> and to mobilize resources to address it.
