The study assessed the impact of Millennium Development Goals in Rural Communities: A study of Azuinyaba community in Ishellu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. The study was guided by three objectives with three corresponding research questions. Relevant literature related to the study was reviewed. The study adopted the theory of structural functionalism. The descriptive method of research based on sample survey design was adopted in this study. The population of the study comprised the people of the Azuinyaba community. The population will be based on 3310 males and 4122 females respectively, bringing the total number of 7432. The sample size of the population was determined using the Taro Yamani formula. A total number of 400 questionnaires was distributed to the respondents. Simple random sampling will be used in the distribution of the questionnaire. Data analysis was anchored on Mean and Standard Deviations. The study revealed that MDGs has not made a significant impact on the standard of living of the rural dweller in the Azuinyaba community of Ebonyi State. The rural dwellers should be incorporated into the MDGs programmes. This would attract the support of the people in the implementation and maintenance of developmental programmes.
