[RED DEMOCRATICA] INFORM.: Meeting targets A progress report on the the Millennium Development Goals

 

Dear eleccion,

Red Democratica (red_democratica@yahoo.com) has sent you an article from The
Economist online

The Millennium Development Goals

Meeting targets
A progress report on the the Millennium Development Goals

Sep 20th 2010

ON SEPTEMBER 22nd world leaders wrap up a three-day UN-sponsored summit in
New York to discuss progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. These
are broad development targets that were set at a similar meeting ten years
ago. Most of the goals involved reductions by 2015 from 1990 levels, and
there has indeed been progress towards them, at least on a global scale. But
what happens globally can be dominated by what happens in one or two
countries. For example, in 1990, 62% of the world's poor people lived in
just two countries, China and India. A dramatic fall in China's poverty
rate, from 60% to 16%, has therefore had a big impact on global poverty,
which seems set to meet its 2015 target. But that is small comfort to the
poor in many other countries where poverty has barely budged. Goals such as
those involving primary enrolment and reductions in child mortality are
unlikely to be met, though some, such as access to clean drinking water, are
likely to be exceeded.
