Millennium Villages Project (MV 1 & 2)
The project aims at establishing a rigorous proof of concept for implementing the practical interventions needed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in rural Africa over a five year time-frame and within the budget structure recommended by the UN Millennium Project. It will demonstrate and scientifically document that community-based, low-cost, and integrated interventions can empower impoverished rural areas and enable them to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
