The Micah Challenge is an international Christian response to the glaring injustice of global poverty. In the UK, it seeks to build on the momentum created by the MakePovertyHistory campaign to continue to press the UK government to do more to alleviate poverty and deal with its causes. Rather being a single short-term campaign, Micah Challenge is more of a movement, aimed at providing Christians with a deeper understanding of God's heart for the poor and with a vehicle to respond to poverty and its injustice.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown, in the UN speech on 31 July, held governments to account for the lack of progress on the promises to the poor and urged world leaders to play their parts to fulfil the MDGs by 2015.
