ADVANCEME IN MDG
•The proportion of undernourished people in the developing
regions has fallen by almost half.
•The primary school enrolment rate in the developing regions
has reached 91 percent, and many more girls are now in
school compared to 15 years ago.
•Remarkable gains have also been made in the fight against
HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.
•The under-five mortality rate has declined by more than half,
and maternal mortality is down 45 percent worldwide.
•The target of halving the proportion of people who lack access
to improved sources of water was also met.
POST 2015 ADVANCE IN MDG
Progress made but gaps remain
HIV, tuberculosis and malaria targets (halting and reversing the global epidemic) were met.
Child mortality decreased by 53% – a great achievement, but fell short of the 67% target.
Deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth (maternal mortality) fell by more than 40%,
impressive but short of the 75% target.
The target for drinking water was met, with 91% of the global population using an improved
drinking water source, compared to 76% in 1990.
Between 1990 and 2015, the global prevalence of underweight among children aged less
than 5 declined from 25% to 14%, nearly reaching the target of a 50% reduction.
Official Development Assistance for health increased from US$11.6 billion in 2000 to US$
35.9 billion in 2014.
