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.
Bangladesh's progress on the MDGs
Bangladesh has already met several targets of the MDGs like reducing poverty gap ratio, 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, detection and cure rate of tuberculosis under directly observed treatment short course and others. In addition, Bangladesh has made remarkable progress in the areas of poverty reduction, reducing the prevalence of underweight children, increasing enrolment at primary schools, lowering the infant mortality rate and maternal mortality ratio, improving immunization coverage and reducing the incidence of communicable diseases.
The Household Income and Expenditure Survey of 2010 data show that the incidence of poverty is declining at a rate of 2.47 percent per year since 1991-92 in Bangladesh. It can be said that the target of halving the population living below the poverty line is already achieved in 2012.On the other hand, areas in need of greater attention are hunger-poverty reduction and employment generation, increases in primary school completion and adult literacy rates, creation of decent wage employment for women, increase in the presence of skilled health professionals at delivery, increase in correct and comprehensive knowledge on HIV/AIDS, increase in forest coverage, and coverage of information and communication technology.

This document summarizes and analyzes Nigeria's progress toward achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals by 2015. It discusses two Nigerian reports on the MDGs from 2004 and 2005 that assessed Nigeria's status on each goal. While the 2004 report found it unlikely Nigeria would meet most goals, the 2005 report was more optimistic but said sustained efforts would still be needed. The document analyzes some problems with Nigeria's MDG reporting, including unreliable statistics, a focus on external development assistance over domestic policies, and a lack of recommendations for needed changes. It aims to provide context on Nigeria's situation and challenges in achieving the MDGs by the 2015 deadline.
The Millennium Development Goals are eight targets set by the UN to reduce poverty by 2015, including eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS and other diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability, and developing global partnerships. In 2000, 189 UN members committed to achieving the MDGs. The Philippines has made progress on some goals but faces challenges in maternal health, reproductive health, nutrition, education, and sustainability. While efforts have increased, meeting all the 2015 targets depends on further scaling up programs and resources.
This document presents a final project on financing for development in Chad. It discusses the Sustainable Development Goals and Chad's challenges in achieving them, including lack of infrastructure financing, weak private capital, and inadequate financial services. It recommends mobilizing domestic resources through public-private partnerships and a legal/management framework for PPPs. Specific policy options are given, such as diversifying investment sources, risk management mechanisms, and programs to combat corruption and improve data systems for effective policymaking. Overall, increased PPPs, transparency, and good governance are argued as key to implementing the SDGs and bringing employment to communities in Chad.
1. The document discusses Nigeria's progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set in 2000, which aimed to reduce poverty, hunger, disease, and gender inequality by 2015.
2. It notes that while many countries are still far from achieving the MDGs, frameworks have been put in place to work towards them. However, Nigeria in particular is not on track to meet most of the goals based on indicators like high maternal mortality, HIV prevalence, and low human development rankings.
3. The key question is how far Nigeria has come in attaining the MDGs, as improving human development is essential for overall national progress but Nigeria faces many challenges in providing basic necessities and education for
The document discusses the upcoming UN agreement on a new post-2015 development agenda to replace the MDGs. It will cover sustainable development, poverty eradication, inequality reduction, and environmental challenges. The 17 proposed SDGs are presented. The UN will support implementation through its MAPS strategy of mainstreaming the agenda nationally, accelerating progress, and providing policy support. Means of implementation like financing will be critical to discuss at the upcoming Financing for Development conference. Civil society has an important role to play in supporting governments' implementation efforts.
Support to bond on ngo effectiveness, transparency and joint civil societyDr Lendy Spires
The UK government will provide £2.7 million over three years to Bond, the UK membership body for development NGOs, to improve the effectiveness and transparency of UK NGO programs and build coalitions to support EU and international policies on poverty reduction. The total program cost is £4.1 million with additional contributions from other funders. The funding aims to help achieve UK priorities of effective development cooperation and establishing a post-2015 framework to replace the Millennium Development Goals that focuses on poverty reduction. Expected results include indirectly benefiting millions living in poverty through more effective policies and programs, as well as directly strengthening UK development NGOs and their ability to achieve outcomes.

This document discusses progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals. It notes that over 400 million people have been lifted out of poverty since 2000 and there have been advances in reducing child mortality, increasing access to education, and fighting diseases. Some of the poorest countries are on track to meet several goals. Success stories include significant reductions in child mortality, hunger, and increases in food production and school enrollment in several African countries. However, challenges remain due to the financial crisis, food and climate crises, and governance problems. Meeting the MDGs will require increased funding and prioritization of resources towards achieving the goals.

The document discusses the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Africa's progress toward achieving them. It notes that while some countries and regions in Africa are on track, sub-Saharan Africa overall is lagging behind due to challenges like weak economic growth, governance issues, conflict, and health crises like HIV/AIDS. It outlines several "quick win" and medium-term strategies African governments can implement to make faster progress on the MDGs, such as increasing access to education, health services, and infrastructure investments to promote inclusive economic growth and reduce poverty. Political commitment, partnerships, and empowering youth and women will be key to helping more of Africa achieve the MDGs.

MDG 8 targets have not been fully met. Official development assistance as a percentage of GNI for most developed countries remains below the UN target of 0.7%, and debt relief has reduced but not eliminated the debt burdens of many developing countries. Market access for exports from least developed countries remains limited. Progress has been made in some areas like access to technologies, but large gaps remain, especially regarding internet access. Collaboration between governments, NGOs, and private organizations is seen as important to make further progress, but also faces challenges around coordination and differing priorities.
The Millennium Development Authority was established through Act 702 in Ghana on March 23, 2006 to oversee the implementation of Ghana's program under the Millennium Challenge Account. The Authority is tasked with securing proper use of program funds and overseeing similar national development programs. Its objectives are to reduce poverty through modernizing agriculture, promote private sector participation, and provide infrastructure like schools, healthcare, water, and electricity. The targeted groups are those in line with the UN's Millennium Development Goals, which aim to eradicate poverty and hunger, achieve education for all, promote gender equality, reduce child and maternal mortality, combat disease, ensure environmental sustainability, and create a global partnership for development by 2015.

Public library buildings in Sri Lanka are generally of poor quality and do not meet accepted library building standards. Many are housed in converted and unsuitable buildings that do not consider factors like accessibility, maintenance, and security. Proper design criteria for public library buildings should focus on functionality, flexibility, sustainability, technology, and compliance with standards regarding space, collections, lighting, and disaster prevention. Collaboration is needed between relevant organizations to improve standards and implement better library building projects.
The document discusses webliographies, which are online bibliographies or catalogs of web-based information on a particular subject. A webliography is defined as an enumerated list of hyperlinks to online information sources, similar to a traditional bibliography but for digital resources. The document provides examples of how to create different types of webliographies, such as simple, annotated, and multi-religious webliographies. It also lists advantages of webliographies such as easy access and evaluation of online resources.
This document provides information about searching electronic journals. It defines an e-journal as the electronic version of a journal available online. It describes the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) as a directory that provides access to quality-controlled open access journals in many languages. The document outlines how to search the DOAJ by title, subject, journal name, author, keywords or abstract and discusses the benefits of the DOAJ for both libraries and users, such as improved access and cost savings.
Kigose is a search engine created in 2007 by teachers to assist students and teachers in finding educational resources online. It searches information from websites, books, encyclopedias, games, images, songs and videos that are suitable for kids. Kigose provides different search options and filters results to only include content from educational sources appropriate for the age of the user. The included websites are suggested by teachers, parents and students to ensure safe searching.
Directories and search engines are methods for finding information on the web. Directories organize web pages into a hierarchical structure on specific topics, classified by human editors. Search engines allow users to search large databases for pages matching search queries. There are general search engines covering many topics and specialized engines for particular topics like news or shopping. Metasearch engines send queries to multiple search engines at once. Effective search strategies include determining the best search engine based on interface, documentation, speed, database size, and relevancy scoring.

Indexes and abstracts organize information from documents in a systematic way to facilitate searching. Indexes contain records for articles that include fields like authors, titles, sources, and abstracts. Citation indexes allow users to trace interconnections between authors on a topic and determine an article's importance by how often it is cited. They contain four parts: a source index, citation index, permuterm subject index, and corporate index. Users can search these indexes in different ways to locate relevant articles on a topic.
The document discusses the need for an effective digital archiving system for archaeological field projects. It describes digital archiving as preserving information regardless of the storage medium by migrating data to prevent loss from degrading media. The document outlines objectives for digital archives in archaeology like developing standardized systems.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
