10 things to do to end extreme poverty by 2030
We know there are 1.2 billion people living in extreme poverty. As global 
citizens, we want to make poverty history by 2030, and here are 10 things 
the world needs to do to make this happen:
1.
Offi cial development assistance (ODA) remains the largest resource � ow
for most of the countries with the lowest domestic resources, particularly 
in sub-Saharan Africa. [...]
2.
Ending poverty is not just about people’s income but also their access to 
things like water, health, education, housing and security. Bringing everyone 
above the extreme poverty line of $1.25 a day is only the fi rst step.
