A Future Within Reach: Reshaping Institutions in a Region of Disparities to Meet the Millennium Development Goals in Asia and the Pacific
Asian Development Bank | June 2005
Abstract
This report is the second in a series. The first, published in 2003, was subtitled Meeting the Challenges of Poverty Reduction. It gave an initial picture of progress towards the goals, focusing particularly on national policies for poverty reduction and on the potential for partnerships at the global level. This Report updates and extends that analysis. Using the latest data, the Report tracks each country or territory’s progress in each of the MDG targets and assesses whether it will achieve that target by 2015. The results reveal a mixed picture. Some countries are evidently making good progress on the poverty target, but many seem destined to miss other important targets related to health and the environment.
