In efforts of achieving this goal, the United Nations Development Programme in Kazakhstan has targeted the local level. Kazakhstan reportedly achieved Target 1 in 2004. Public social policy has been an effective method for reducing poverty in vulnerable areas such as rural areas. Kazakhstan is still looking to further reduce the proportion of people who live in poverty and are planning to do so by improving public social policies and encouraging development within rural communities. Target 2 is also not a large concern for Kazakhstan as they only have an unemployment rate of 5.4% and job opportunities are available for both women and young people. Kazakhstan also has achieved Target 3, as hunger is no longer an urgent issue within the country. In 2007, Kazakhstan refined the target to halving the proportion of people having no access to balanced nutrition. A large portion of the population, particularly the children, are in need of improved nutrition. To achieve this target, the government is working on a programme to make a balanced nutrition for children more accessible and prevent malnutrition and other nutritional-related abnormalities.
