The Issue of Poverty and Its Practical Impact in Sub-Saharan Africa
VIEHMANNOVÁ, Kristýna
The work deals with the problem of poverty and its causes, impacts and possible help in Sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this thesis is based on the study of documents and other resources to present the issue of poverty, its causes, indicators and possible help in Third World Countries, to investigate the ways the International Monetary Fund helps in the fight against poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa in line with the Millennium Development Goals, which were adopted by representatives of all UN Member States in 2000 at the Millennium Summit. The research was conducted by the secondary data analysis, focused on written documents, literature, press and television broadcasts on the International Monetary Fund and the question of whether this is in line with the MDGs. In the work I specify the concept of poverty in the context of African countries, I point to the geographic, demographic and cultural characteristics of this continent, the beginning of the crisis and indebtedness of states with international institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Further, I give a detailed description of the International Monetary Fund as an institution from its foundation, including the roles it plays in financial assistance to countries. In my work I conclude that the policy proposed by the IMF, which is financial austerity, privatization and market liberalization, is by no means an effective way to economic growth in poor countries of Sub-Saharan Africa and definitely does not correspond to meeting Millennium Development Goals.

Obstacles and Solutions to Solving the Global Hunger Issue in the World
Obenbergerová, Lucie ; Pavlík, Petr (advisor) ; Kačírková, Eliška (referee)
The urgency of the global hunger and poverty issues has led to establishment of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals with the deadline at the end of 2015. The presented bachelor thesis focuses on the first and the most difficult goal which is to reduce extreme poverty and hunger by half compared to 1990. Obstacles to achieving the goal emerge, slow down the progress and lower the effect of the invested money and effort. The aim of the thesis is to define and evaluate the obstacles and their negative effect on developing countries and implementation of otherwise efficient solutions, which are afterwards described. The thesis supports, with an example of three successful countries from different parts of the world, the fact that by using adequate methods it is possible to achieve the goal.

Achieving the Millenium development goals in India
Vícenecová, Romana ; Stuchlíková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Bartušková, Hana (referee)
The world economy is currently going through many changes. The economic strength of developing countries has increased significantly, however the power of developed countries tends to decline. One of the emerging economies, which is gradually strengthening its position as one of the strongest players in the world, is India. Despite all the economic potential, India still ranks among the developing economies and many factors, such as poverty or hunger, keep slowing down India's growth. The biggest program, which seeks to help the developing countries, is called the Millennium Development Goals. These goals were established in 2000 by the United Nations. My bachelor's thesis aims to analyze progress in achieving the Millennium development goals in India with a focus on meeting the three specific targets related to poverty, education and women empowerment. This work captures the successes that India has already managed to reach as well as mentioning the targets that will not be met.
