The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty has been observed every year since 1993, when the United Nations General Assembly, by resolution 47/196, designated this day to promote awareness of the need to eradicate poverty and destitution in all countries. Fighting poverty remains at the core of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).Come and join us as we strategize to make poverty a history in Africa. The eradication of poverty is a key objective of Agenda 2063 vision.
