So, where's the money going?
To meet the issues and to begin implementing the MDGs, Russia was given some money (specifically, $1,419,300,000). With this money, they were expected to begin to work on achieve each of the MDGs. Here's how the money was divided up:
goal |
% of money |
$ AMOUNT |
reason |
End poverty and hunger |
13% |
$184,509,000 |
Population below poverty line: 13.1% (2010), so 13% of the money goes to ending poverty and hunger.
|
Universal Education |
5% |
$70,965,000 |
Population below poverty line: 13.1% (2010), so 13% of the money goes to ending poverty and hunger.
|
Gender Equality |
7% |
$99,351,000 |
In 2010, 14% of the seats of parliament of Russia were occupied by women. Also, in Russia, men and women make about the same. The bigger problem is having more women in power.
Luckily, things are very equal in Russia as it pertains to gender. The only differences between the sexes is enrollment and education. There are more men in school than there are women in Russia, so more needs to be done in the way of getting women into schools and keeping them there. |
Child Health |
10% |
$141,930,000 |
Maternal and Child health are connected, which is good because it'll be cheaper to achieve this goal. Even still, much money is given to achieve this goal because it's an issue that Russia takes very seriously.

Maternal Health |
10% |
$141,930,000 |
Maternal and Child health are connected, which is good because it'll be cheaper to achieve this goal. Even still, much money is given to achieve this goal because it's an issue that Russia takes very seriously.

Combat HIV/Aids |
5% |
$70,965,000 |
AIDS and HIV aren't huge issues in Russia, but even still, it'll be costly to help those that are inflicted in Russia, and something must be done to stop the spread.
|
ENVIRONMENTAL Sustainability |
25% |
$354,825,000 |
Environmental Sustainability is a fairly small issue to solve. The only issue with achieving this goal is that environmentally responsible equipment and facilities are EXPENSIVE. That's why 25% of the budget is going here.
|
Global Partnership |
25% |
$354,825,000 |
Global partnership is a very involved goal to solve. There's much to do in the way of achieving this goal. There's facilities to build, and most of all, lifestyles must change. Many Russian citizens have debts, and to correct those, jobs have to be put into place to make sure that people close their gaps.
