The first goal of the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations is called Ending all forms of poverty (hereinafter referred to as SDG 1). BRM member states have undertaken to “Leave no one behind and go first to help the people in the most remote areas.” SDG 1 aims to end all forms of extreme poverty, including lack of food, clean drinking water and sanitation. Achieving this goal includes addressing new threats posed by climate change and conflict.

There are 7 goals to implement SDG 1 and 13 indicators to determine the path of development. After performing the above tasks, the following result will be achieved:

1. Elimination of extreme poverty;

2. Halve all types of poverty;

3. Introduction of social protection systems;

4. Ensuring equal rights to use property, basic services, technologies and economic resources;

5. Increasing resilience to ecological, economic and social disasters.

Despite continued progress, 10 percent of the world’s population lives in poverty and struggles to meet basic needs such as health, education, water and sanitation. Extreme poverty remains widespread in low-income countries, particularly those affected by conflict and political upheaval. Statistics from 2015 show that more than half of the 736 million people living in extreme poverty live in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Africa. In this case, without significant changes in the social policy process, poverty by 2030  ncreases sharply. According to 2016 statistics, the poverty rate in rural areas was 17.2 percent, and in urban areas it was 5.3 peThe first goal of the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations is called Ending all forms of poverty (hereinafter referred to as SDG 1).

One of the main indicators that measure poverty is the share of the population living below the international and national poverty line. Measuring the share of the population living in households covered by social protection systems and able to use basic services is also one of the indicators showing the level of poverty. The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has made poverty eradication more difficult. A study published in September 2020 found that while poverty had been steadily declining for the past 20 years, it had risen by 7 percent in a few months.

Poverty did not spare the children either. Statistics are made every year about how many children live in hunger and poverty. But these statistics are not always correct. For example, in 2013, an estimated 385 million children lived on less than $1.90 a day. These figures are unreliable due to the lack of comprehensive data on the situation of children worldwide. On average, 97 percent of countries do not have enough data to assess the situation of disadvantaged children and develop ways to achieve SDG 1. 63% of countries do not have any statistics on child poverty.

Since 1990, the countries of the world have implemented various measures to reduce poverty and achieved effective results. In 2013, the number of people living in extreme poverty decreased from 1.8 billion to 776 million. However, despite the poor results, people continue to live in poverty.

According to World Bank estimates, 40 to 60 million people will fall into extreme poverty in 2020. In the world’s poorest countries, the lack of economic growth, rising inequality, increasingly weak statehood and climate change are the consequences of achieving SDG 1. is hindering. Local governments play an important role in addressing poverty.

All over the world, local governments have different functions and perform the following tasks:

– meeting the needs of the poor;

– good governance to ensure accountability and transparency;

– to establish quality education to improve employment;

– work on business ethics of state enterprises that affect the needy population and rural communities.
