A general summary of the results can be seen below. For the full report and other documents related to the CMDGs, you can browse our Resource Library.
Progress in Achieving CMDG
As illustrated, the review of progress in achieving CMDG finds that:
• The most progress has been achieved in CMDG4 (Child Mortality), CMDG9 (De-Mining, UXO and Victim Assistance) and in CMDG6 (HIV/AIDS and Malaria, Dengue Fever and TB) and these are all on track;
• It may be possible, with major changes and focussed attention, to achieve CMDG1 (Poverty and Hunger), and CMDG 3 (Gender Equality);
• Even with drastic changes, given the nature of the indicators and targets and the nature of the systemic problems faced in CMDG2 (Basic Education),CMDG5 (Maternal Health) and CMDG7 (Environment), while much progress can and should be made, these goals are unlikely to be achieved by 2015.
If the issue of domestic violence is not vigorously addressed, CMDG 3 (Gender Equality) may also fall in the “off-track” category.
