Millennium Development Goals in the Pacific: Relevance and Progress
Asian Development Bank | March 2003
Abstract
The record of Pacific developing member countries with regard to progress towards the MDGs is mixed. While some have made significant progress in some areas, others are struggling to provide the social, economic, physical and political environment that promotes human development. Several countries have already achieved certain targets such as universal primary education or the elimination of gender disparities in education. Many countries are facing increasing difficulties to provide efficient and equitable access to basic social services and an environment conducive for private sector development. Finally, signs of emerging pockets of poverty challenge countries and donors to focus policies and action programs.
