The Millennium Development Goals were agreed 15 years ago provided an important framework for development and significant progress has been made in a number of areas.
其中"provided an important framework for development"一句是修饰“Goals"的定语从句吗?如果是,为什么会用成”provided"而不是“providing"
provided (that)可以作连词,表示条件,但在这句话里无法充当这个功能,句意明显不搭。
文中的The Millennium Development Goals在15年前就已经达成了(为事实),那我还要一个前提条件做什么功能呢?且这个条件从句的时态与主句也冲突。
所以这个题可能错了,编者出错的概率很大。
把句中的were去掉,句意就通了。
The Millennium Development Goals agreed 15 years ago provided an important framework for development and significant progress has been made in a number of areas.

1. "provided an important framework for development" 是修饰主句谓语动词的状语从句,不是修饰“Goals" 的定语从句。
2. providing (that) 和 provided (that),都是“分词连词”,引导条件状语从句,意思基本没有区别。大致等于 if,as long as 的意思。例如:
We'll buy everything you produce, provided/providing (that) the price is right.
倘若价格合适,我们将采购你们的全部产品。
Provided/Providing that you have the money in your account, you can withdraw up to S| 100 a day.
只要账户存款足够,每天可提取不超过100美元。
