I think either a word is missing or “maintain” is not the right word. You can say, “In order to meet its sustainability goals, the UN is intent on eradicating extreme poverty by the end of 2030.”

I know that there is a pattern in English on verbs in infinite + verbs in ing, but one thing is understanding and noticed, another is to use it. Anyway, your lesson reminded me about this pattern. Thanks a lot.
