The document discusses Pakistan's progress toward achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals by 2015. It analyzes progress separately for each of Pakistan's provinces (Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan), finding that Punjab is furthest along but Balochistan is severely off track on health and education goals. It also summarizes the work of two non-governmental organizations, the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund and the United Nations Development Program in Pakistan, to contribute to achieving the MDGs in areas like poverty reduction, education, health, and empowering women. It concludes by suggesting further awareness raising and identifying gaps for NGOs to address.

Sustainable Development Goals : Perspective Bangladesh.pptxMdNajmusSakib
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were born at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro in 2012. The objective was to produce a set of universal goals that meet the urgent environmental, political, and economic challenges facing our world.
The SDGs replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which started a global effort in 2000 to tackle the indignity of poverty
Pakistan faces many challenges at the beginning of the second decade of the 21stcentury:
• Decades-long struggle with macroeconomic stabilisation arising from unsustainable fiscal policies
• Pressure of demography
• Legacy of economic distortions
• Battering from external events, including earthquakes, floods and a continuing
longstanding low intensity conflict
• A large and loss-making public sector that impedes market development
• Low and declining productivity
• Heightened expectations of the population for a better life from a democratic
government.
Our growth experience of the last four decades has been volatile annual growth and
declining trend in long run growth patterns. In addition, productivity growth (a
measure of efficiency) has been low in comparison to our comparators. For the last
four years per-capita incomes have not increased in real terms while double-digit
inflation has prevailed.
SDG Goal 1 (No Poverty) and its Progress in Context of PakistanMirzaMuhammadAhmed
A sustainably managed environment is a prerequisite for socio-economic development and poverty reduction. The natural environment supplies ecosystem goods and services that provide income, support job creation, poverty alleviation, contribute to safety nets and reduce inequity.
Climate change and exposure to natural disasters threaten to derail efforts to eradicate poverty. A great bulk of the world's poorest and most vulnerable citizens live in disaster prone countries and their number keeps increasing. Those groups are disproportionally affected by shocks and stresses. As temperatures rise, the likelihood and severity of climate-related disasters increase affecting lives and livelihoods, hampering the development efforts and reversing gains made in poverty reduction.

MDGs : Progress of Bangladesh
Bangladesh has made commendable progress in respect of eradication of poverty and hunger. It 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.

NPP National population policyAfter independence the first objective of India...AKHILAPK2
After independence the first objective of Indian government was economic and social development. In economic and social development, government focus on to create the choices for the people to enhance the wellbeing of the population.
In 1952 India was first country in the world who launch the family planning program to decrease the birth rates.
A positive population policy which aims at reducing the birth rate and ultimately stabilising the growth rate of population.
In India, where the majority of people are illiterate, fatalist, and custom-ridden, and do not believe in family planning, only the government’s initiative can help in controlling population growth.
India is the most populous country in the world with one-sixth of the world's population.
The estimated total population in India amounted to approximately 1.42 billion people.
The current population of India is 1,433,840,754 as of Friday, November 24, 2023.
India the population is equivalent to 17.76% of the total world population.

Government of India has accepted the National population policy on 15th February 2000.
According to this policy, stabilization of population is very important to ensure continuous growth ,socioeconomic development and quality life.
Reproduction and child health has been given an important place in this policy.There are three types of objectives for National Population Policy (NPP) 2000:
1. The Immediate Objective:
Paying attention to the short supply of contraceptives and unfulfilled demands of health system and health workers.
Arranging service organizations and supplies needed to look after the basic reproductive and child health care.
2. The Medium-Term Objective:
The medium-term objective is to bring the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) to replacement level by 2010 .
3. The Long-Term Objective:
Stabilizing the population by the year 2045,according to stable economic growth ,social development and environment safety.
Socio Demographic Targets: Paying attention to the reproductive and child health, health
Wereldwijd hebben kinderen het beter dan ooit. Vergeleken met een paar decennia geleden overlijden er per dag minder jonge kinderen, leven er minder kinderen in armoede en gaan meer kinderen goed gevoed naar school.
Dit bemoedigende nieuws blijkt uit een nieuw rapport van UNICEF en Save the Children - voorbereid in samenwerking met het Overseas Development Institute. Nog beter nieuws is dat we weten hoe we nog meer vooruitgang moeten boeken; met meer nadruk op de meest kwetsbare kinderen. Daar waar kinderen het grootste gebrek hebben aan basale voorzieningen, kan op een kosteneffectieve en efficiënte manier snel vooruitgang worden geboekt.
Casestudies in het rapport laten zien dat verschillende factoren bijdragen aan de vooruitgang voor kinderen: sterkere en expliciete nationale wil om te investeren in kinderen, ondersteunende programma's en meer ontwikkelingssamenwerking gericht op kinderen.
Het volledige rapport verschijnt binnenkort.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT
GOALS
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are
eight international development goals that 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
(there are 193 currently) and at least 23 international
organizations committed to help achieve the following
Millennium Development Goals by 2015
4. MDGs In Pakistan
•Pakistan has adopted 16 targets
and 41 indicators against which
progress towards achieving the
Eight Goals of the MDG’s is
measured.
• It reveals that Pakistan is on track
to achieve the targets on 9
indicators, whereas its progress on
24 indicators is off track.
5. Punjab
•Punjab, in lieu of its performance in most indicators, is
far head in achieving MDGs as compared to other
provinces.
•The prevalence of underweight children below 5 and
proportion of population below minimum level of
dietary consumption.
•Targets for the net primary enrolment ratio and
literacy rate are unlikely to be achieved.
•Targets related to mortality rates, immunization
against measles and lady health workers’ coverage of
target population are likely not to be achieved.
•Targets for the maternal mortality ratio, proportion of
births attended by skilled birth attendants,
contraceptive prevalence rate and total fertility rate
are unlikely to be met.
6. Sindh
•In general, at the current rate of progress, no MDG will be
achieved in entirety in Sindh.
•The floods of 2011 and the declining national economic and
security situation post 2007 threaten to reverse the progress
that has been made. Performance is not only considerably
behind the targets but also the national average in all
indicators the prevalence of underweight children.
•the net primary enrolment ratio, completion/survival rate and
literacy rate, despite the latter being higher than the national
average.
•The maternal mortality ratio, births attended by skilled birth
attendants, contraceptive prevalence rate, total fertility rate
and antenatal coverage reported for Sindh fall considerably
short of those required for attaining the targets.
•Sindh is likely to be unable to meet the target for the
proportion of population with access to sanitation.
7. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
•Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province has made significant
progress reflected in its achievement of targets for indicators
of forest cover and land area protected for the conservation of
wildlife.
•Progress in other MDG areas, however has suffered in part
owing to the unprecedented natural as well as manmade
calamities which have afflicted the province.
•GDP for primary education and youth literacy, share of
women in wage employment and proportion of seats held by
women in national parliament with targets below national
averages.
•Indicators of infant mortality, immunization of children,
immunization of children against measles and lady health
worker’s coverage.
•KP’s progress also falls short of other provinces in the
proportion of population with sustainable access to a safe
improved water source owing to large urban rural
discrepancies.
8. Balochistan
•Balochistan is the worst performing province in most if
not all areas of the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs). Balochistan’s performance while completely off
track, is especially of grave concern in health and
education related indicators. 43% of children are
underweight in Balochistan against a target of 20%,
reflecting a severe lag in performance. Net primary
enrolment ratio, completion/survival rate and literacy
rate performance is lower than the national average and
considerably behind the targets.
•Child mortality with a staggeringly high infant mortality
rate by national standards. There are 785 deaths per
hundred thousand live births, the maternal mortality
ratio deserves immediate attention.
9.
10. NGOs working in Pakistan
PAKISTAN POVERTY ALLEVIATION FUND (PPAF)
This NGO is mainly focusing to accomplish MDG 1. Their goal is to alleviate
poverty through empowering poor people and increasing their access to
income and opportunities, ensuring a focus on the most vulnerable and
marginalized groups. They provide funds in the form of grants and loans to
organizations working towards their goal.
WORK DONE BY PPAF FOR SPECIFIC MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS
MDG1-
At-least 60 percent of targeted poor and 50 percent of ultra poor graduated to
higher scores on the poverty scorecard
MDG3-
1. Increased percentage of women own assets and resources on their
name
2.Participation of women household decisions
MDG2-
90% of boys and girls of primary school age within the targeted village
completed primary schooling.
MDG5-
A 50% reduction in maternal mortality rates within the targeted population.
MDG4-
Reduce by 50% the under-five mortality rates in the targeted communities.
children who were severely malnourished were targeted. Achieved
Immunization rates close to 100% in all the PPAF targeted communities.
11. UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IN PAKISTAN
In 2002, the government of Pakistan became one of the first countries in the world
to establish a national public-private partnership devoted to achieving the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). UNDP partners with the Pakistan Human
Development Fund and the National Commission for Human Development (NCHD),
the implementing agency working on the ground in 53 districts across Pakistan, in
the following areas:
Education: To ensure that children everywhere receive primary education by 2015,
NCHD has launched the Universal Primary Education Program, establishing
community-based feeder schools to accommodate children unable to access
government schools;
Health care: To improve health-care services, particularly for
maternal and child welfare, the Primary Health Care Extension Program trains local
health-care workers and educates community members; and
Civil Society: To engage Pakistanis in human development at the grassroots level, the
Volunteerism Program harnesses the potential of individuals to contribute to
development in their own community.
12. What more can be done?
•Booklet for distribution to Government
and other stakeholders containing
awareness raising materials based on the
TV programs and encouraging all sectors to
internalize that MDGs and make them our
own.
•Identification of areas where NGOs are
not working or could work better so
projects and programs can be developed to
fill these gaps, meet and exceed the
Millennium Development Goals.
