3. Millennium Development Goals

4.  The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight international
development goals, were established following the Millennium Summit of the United
Nations in 2000
 following the adoption of the United Nations Millennium Declaration. All 189 United
Nations member states at the time (are 193 currently)
 at least 23 international organizations committed to help achieve the following
Millennium Development Goals by 2015.

7. Steps Taken To Accelerate MDGs
 Each goal has specific targets, and dates for achieving those targets.
 To accelerate progress, the G8 finance ministers agreed in June 2005 to provide enough
funds to the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the African
Development Bank (AfDB)
 to cancel $40 to $55 billion in debt owed by members of the heavily indebted poor
countries (HIPC)
 The UN Secretary General presented the goals, targets and indicators to the General
Assembly in September 2001 in his report titled 'Roadmap Towards the Implementation
of the United Nations Millennium Declaration'.
 from January 2008, 21 targets and 60 indicators have been re-set and used to monitor
the MDGs

8. MDGs World Status

9. MDGs Progress In Bangladesh
 Has already met several targets
 Like reducing headcount poverty and poverty gap ratio, reducing the
prevalence of underweight children, attaining gender parity at primary and
secondary education, under-five mortality rate reduction, containing HIV
infection with access to antiretroviral drugs, children under five sleeping
under insecticide treated bed nets, cure rate of TB under DOTS and others.
 Made remarkable progress in, increasing enrolment at primary schools,
lowering the infant mortality rate and maternal mortality ratio, improving
immunization coverage and reducing the incidence of communicable diseases.

10. Goal 1: Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger
 has made commendable progress in respect of
eradication of poverty and hunger.
 has sustained a GDP growth rate in excess of 6
percent in recent years that has played a positive role
in eradicating poverty.
 The robust growth has been accompanied by
corresponding improvements in several social
indicators
 such as increased life expectancy and lower fertility
rate despite having one of the world‟s highest
population densities.

11. Goal 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education
Significant progress has been made in increasing
equitable access in reduction of dropouts,
improvement in completion of the cycle, and
implementation of a number of quality
enhancement measures in primary education.
Bd has already achieved gender parity in
primary & secondary enrolment. Initiatives have
been taken to introduce pre-school education to
prepare the children for formal schooling. The
government is in the process of implementing a
comprehensive National Education Policy to
achieve its objectives. The Constitution of BD
has provision for free and compulsory primary
education

12. Goal 3: Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women
Bangladesh has already achieved this goal i.e. gender parity in
primary and secondary education at the national level. This positive
development has occurred due to some specific public interventions
focusing on girl students, such as stipends and exemption of tuition
fees for girls in rural areas, and the stipend scheme for girls at the
secondary level. Bangladesh has made significant progress in
promoting the objectives of ensuring gender equality and
empowerment of women. There has been steady improvement in the
social and political empowerment scenario of women in Bangladesh.

13. Goal 4: Reduce Child Mortality Rate
Bangladesh has already met the target of reducing under-
five mortality rate: against the target of achieving 48 per
1,000 live births in 2015, The successful programs for
immunization, control of diarrhea diseases and Vitamin A
supplementation are considered to be the most significant
contributors to the decline in child and infant deaths
along with potential effect of overall economic and social
development. Despite these improvements, there are
challenges ahead. While the mortality rates have
improved, major inequalities among the population still
need to be addressed.

14. Goal 5: Improve Maternal Health
According to the country‟s first MDG Progress Report, the maternal mortality
ratio in 1990 was 574 per 100,000 live births in Bangladesh. However,
according to Bangladesh Maternal Mortality Survey (BMMS), maternal
mortality declined from 322 in 2001 to 194 in 2010, a 40 percent decline in
nine years. The average rate of decline from the base year has been about 3.3
percent per year, compared with the average annual rate of reduction of 3.0
percent required for achieving the MDG in 2015. The BMMS 2001 and 2010
show that overall mortality among women in the reproductive ages has
consistently declined during these nine years.

15. Goal 6:, Malaria, and Other Diseases
Bangladesh has performed well in halting communicable
diseases under this goal. was a significant improvement
in the reduction of malarial deaths in the country over
the years. Major interventions for malaria control
undertaken include expanding quality diagnosis and
effective treatment of 90 percent of malaria cases;
promoting use of long lasting impregnated nets (LLIN)
and insecticide-treated nets (ITN) in 100 percent
households in the three hill distric.

16. Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability
Integrate the principles of sustainable
development into country policies and programs;
reverse loss of environmental resources
Reduce biodiversity loss, achieving, by 2010, a
significant reduction in the rate of loss
Halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without
sustainable access to safe drinking water and
basic sanitation
By 2020, to have achieved a significant improvement
in the lives of at least 100 million slum-dweller

17. Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development
Targets
Develop further an open, rule-based, predictable, non-
discriminatory trading and financial system
Address the special needs of landlocked developing
countries and small island developing States
In co-operation with pharmaceutical companies,
provide access to affordable, essential drugs in
developing countries
 In co-operation with the private sector, make available
the benefits of new technologies, especially information
and communications

18. The percentage of people living on less than $1.25/day has been halved
globally, more than 2 billion people have gained access to clean water, the
number of people affected by malaria and tuberculosis has been minimized
and the hunger reduction target is attainable within the prescribed
deadline. However, other objectives are still far from completion. It
remains to be seen whether these areas in need of further progress will
receive adequate attention in coming years, and if new, loftier objectives
will be set in spheres of development where previous goals have already
been met.
