Eradication of extreme poverty and hunger by 2015 is the first Millennium Development Goal. In addition to broader approaches, the Sachs Report (for the UN Millennium Project) proposes a series of "quick wins", approaches identified by development experts which would cost relatively little but could have a major constructive effect on world poverty. The quick wins are:
*Directly assisting local entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and create jobs.
*Access to information on sexual and reproductive health.
*Action against domestic violence.
*Appointing government scientific advisors in every country.
*Deworming school children in affected areas.
*Drugs for AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.
*Eliminating school fees.
*Ending user fees for basic health care in developing countries.
*Free school meals for schoolchildren.
*Legislation for women’s rights, including rights to property.
*Planting trees.
*Providing soil nutrients to farmers in sub-Saharan Africa.
*Providing mosquito nets.
*Access to electricity, water and sanitation.
*Supporting breast-feeding.
*Training programs for community health in rural areas.
*Upgrading slums, and providing land for public housing
