The member countries in the UN general assembly were committed to present a periodical report about the advancement achieved in their process to accomplish their goals. In accordance with this commitment many countries had to reconsider their priorities in using their resources and efforts, directed to achieve these goals. It is worth considering that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and through its periodical national report regarding developmental objectives has put an ambitious time frame that goes beyond achieving the goals to developmental accomplishments that can transform it to the range of developed countries.

  In September 2000, leaders from 189 nations agreed on a vision for the future: a world with less poverty, hunger and disease, greater survival prospects for mothers and their infants, better educated children, equal opportunities for women, and a healthier environment; a world in which developed and developing countries worked in partnership for the betterment of all. This vision took the shape of eight Millennium Development Goals, which provide a framework for development planning for countries around the world, and time-bound targets by which progress can be measured.

In September 2000 147 heads of State and Government, and 189 nations in total, in the United Nations Millennium Declaration committed themselves to making the right to development a reality for everyone and to freeing the entire human race from want. They acknowledged that progress is based on sustainable economic growth, which must focus on the poor, with human rights at the centre. The objective of the Declaration is to promote "a comprehensive approach and a coordinated strategy, tackling many problems simultaneously across a broad front."

The Declaration calls for halving by the year 2015, the number of people who live on less than one dollar a day. This effort also involves finding solutions to hunger, malnutrition and disease, promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women, guaranteeing a basic education for everyone, and supporting the Agenda 21 principles of sustainable development. Direct support from the richer countries, in the form of aid, trade, debt relief and investment is to be provided to help the developing countries.
