MDG REPORT 2014
Progress towards
achieving the MDGs
Progress towards achieving the MDGs

Millions of lives have
been saved.

Several key targets
have already been
met ahead of time or
are within reach by
2015.

Yet, much more effort
is needed in many
areas.
MDGs: saving millions of lives
• 700 million people have been lifted from extreme
poverty
• More than 170 million people no longer suffer
from hunger
• 17,000 children saved everyday
• 6.6 million lives saved by access and use of
antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected people
SEVERAL KEY TARGETS
HAVE ALREADY BEEN MET
AHEAD OR WITHIN CLOSE
REACH
Poverty target was met
Target: Halve extreme poverty rate between 1990 and 2015
Proportion of people living on less than US$1.25 a day
47%
22%
About 700 million fewer people lived in
conditions of extreme poverty
in 2010 than in 1990.
1980
Achieved
1990
2000
2010
2020
Hunger target is within close reach
Target :Halve hunger rate between 1990 and 2015
The proportion of undernourished people decreased from 24% in 1990-1992 to
14% in 2011-2013.
• The hunger reduction
target is within close
reach but requires
immediate additional
efforts.
Gender parity was reached in primary
education
All developing regions have achieved or are close to achieving gender
parity in primary education
The primary school
enrolment ration increased
from 86 girls for 100 boys
in 1990 to 97 girls in 2012
for developing regions.

HIV treatment saved millions of lives
Target: Achieve, by 2010,
universal access to treatment for
HIV/AIDS for all those who need it.
• Access to antiretroviral therapy
(ART) for HIV-infected people has
been increasing dramatically, with
a total of 9.5 million people in
developing regions receiving
treatment in 2012.
• ART has saved 6.6 million lives
since 1995. Expanding its
coverage can save many more.
Malaria and TB target are within reach
Target : Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence
of malaria and other major diseases.
In the past decade, 3.3 million
deaths were averted due to
malaria interventions. More than
700 million bed nets were
delivered in sub-Saharan Africa.
Between 1995 and 2012, the
cumulative total of tuberculosis
patients treated successfully
was 56 million, saving 22
million lives.

Drinking water target was reached
Target: Halve, by 2015, the proportion of the population without
sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.
• In 2012, 89% of the world’s
population had access to an
improved water source, up from
76% in 1990.
• Over 2.3 billion people gained
access to an improved source of
drinking water between 1990
and 2012.

Achieved
in 2010
Official development assistance
reached its highest level
• Official development
assistance (ODA) stood at
$134.8 billion in 2013, the
highest level recorded.
•
17 out of 28 Development
Assistance Committee (DAC)
countries recorded an
increase in their allocation to
ODA.
MORE EFFORT IS
NEEDED IN MANY AREAS
Too many children suffer from
undernutrition
• Chronic undernutrition among
young children declined, but one
in four children around the world
show signs of stunted growth—
having inadequate height for
their age.
• It is unacceptable that 162
million young children are still
suffering from this chronic form
of undernutrition.
Many children are still denied their
right to primary education
Target: By 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be
able to complete a full course of primary schooling.
• The number of children out of
school decline by almost half
since 2000, but still 58 million
children were out of school,
half of which are from conflictaffected areas.
• More than one in four children
in developing regions entering
primary school is likely to drop
out.

Preventable diseases still kill many
children
Target: Reduce the under-five mortality rate by two thirds between
1990 and 2015.
• Child mortality fell by almost
50%, from 90 deaths per 1,000
live births in 1990 to 48 in 2012.
Still 6.6 million children under
age five died in 2012.
• Preventable diseases such as
pneumonia, diarrhea and
malaria, remain the main
causes of under-five deaths.

Much more needs to be done to
improve maternal health
Target :Reduce the maternal mortality ratio by three quarters
between 1990 and 2015.
• Maternal mortality ratio declined by
45% since 1990, but 300,000 women
died from cause related to pregnancy
and child birth in in 2013.
• In 2012, 40 million births in
developing regions were not attended
by skilled health personnel.

Gains in sanitation are impressive, but
not good enough
Target: Halve, by 2015, the
proportion of the population
without sustainable access to safe
drinking water and basic sanitation.
• Over a quarter of the world’s
population (almost 2 million)
has gained access to an
improved sanitation facility since
1990.
• Yet 2.5 billion do not use an
improved sanitation facility and
1 billion people still resort to
open defecation.
MDG Progress Charts
Post-2015 development agenda
• In 2015, people and leaders must agree on new goals
and take action to improve the world for current and future
generations.
• Continued progress towards the MDGs in the remaining
year is essential to provide a solid foundation for the post2015 development agenda.
• Let’s renew our commitment to create equal opportunities
for all people to contribute to a thriving planet.
How is progress assessed?

The yearly progress report is the result of a joint
effort by members of the Inter-Agency and
Expert Group on MDG Indicators (IAEG),
consisting of 28 international and regional
organizations.

The data are complied from national sources to
international agencies, then to the MDG
database.
