The Inter-Agency and Expert Group on the MDG Indicators has agreed a revised official list of MDG targets and indicators effective from 15 January 2008. The revised list reflects the addition of four new targets by the UN General Assembly at the World Summit in 2005 for full and productive employment (Target 1.B), universal access to reproductive health services (Target 5.B), universal access to HIV/AIDS treatment (Target 6.B), and reducing biodiversity loss (Target 7.B). The new targets and their indicators have been slotted into the existing eight Goals, which remain the same. Some other indicators have been revised or dropped to better reflect pertinence and data availability. To avoid reusing numbers for a different purpose, all targets and indicators have been renumbered to reflect the goal to which they belong.
