Abstract
A considerable number of people worldwide live in conditions of dire poverty. The United Nations Millennium Development Goals are a global policy initiative undertaken to address vulnerability by setting benchmarks for United Nations member-states to follow.

Using a systematic review of the literature, the authors examine progress, or lack thereof, that regions have made toward the goal. Four case studies are used: Colombia, Indonesia, Jamaica, and Uganda. Policy recommendations are provided to facilitate realization of Millennium Development Goal #1.
