Over the past 15 years, with the consistent efforts of the Chinese government, wide participation of the entire society and strong support of the international community, China has made notable progress in many areas such as eliminating poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, ensuring healthcare for women and children, controlling and preventing diseases, and protecting the environment.As a responsible major developing country, over the past 15 years, China has also offered support and help to other developing countries for their implementation of the MDGs.
In the process of advancing the implementation of the MDGs, the Chinese Government and the people have conducted an active exploration of various practices based on its national realities, accumulated rich development experience, and forged a development path with Chinese characteristics. Looking ahead, the Chinese Government will continue its efforts to build upon Chinas realities, combining the implementation of the Post- 2015 Development Agenda with national development strategies, working to achieve the Two Centenary Goals and realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Chinese Government is willing to further expand and strengthen international development cooperation, be more active in enhancing South-South cooperation and contribute to shared prosperity and development of all countries. The real work now lies ahead: ensuring these new commitments to transform the lives of the worlds most vulnerable children are kept. Yet for all the remarkable gains, I am keenly aware that inequalities persist and that progress has been uneven. Y et, around 1.5 billion people in conflict affected countries and on the extreme margins of society were unreached by the goals and unable to benefit from the tide that lifted their neighbours. So which goals were met and which fell short Below, well broadly examine what has been achieved for the main targets within the eight goals using information from The Millennium Development Goals Report 2015. MDG 1: Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger The target of reducing extreme poverty rates people living on just 1.25 a day by half was met five years ahead of the 2015 deadline. Globally the number of people living in extreme poverty has fallen from 1.9 billion in 1990 to 836 million in 2015. However, target of halving the proportion of people suffering from hunger has narrowly been missed. The proportion of undernourished people in the developing regions has fallen from 23.3 per cent in 1990 to 12.9 per cent in 2014. MDG 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education Primary school enrolment figures have shown an impressive rise, but the goal of achieving universal primary education has just been missed. The primary school enrolment rate in developing regions reached 91 per cent this year, up from 83 per cent in 2000. MDG 3: Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women About two two-thirds of developing countries achieved gender parity in primary education. MDG 4: Reduce Child Mortality The global under-five mortality rate has declined by more than half since 1990 dropping from 90 to 43 deaths per 1,000 live births. A terrible reality made worse by the fact we know what each one of these major killers are, and what can be done to thwart them. MDG 5: Improve Maternal Health Since 1990, the maternal mortality ratio has been cut nearly in half. This is an impressive result, but as well with goal 4 it falls short of the two-thirds reduction that was aimed for. MDG 6: Combat HIVAIDS, Malaria and Other Diseases The results with MDG 5 are mixed. The target of halting and beginning to reverse the spread of HIVAids has not been met although the number of new HIV infections fell by 40 between 2000 and 2013. The global malaria incidence rate has fallen by an estimated 37 per cent and the mortality rate by 58 per cent MDG 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainably Between 1990 and 2015, 2.6 billion people gained access to improved drinking water, meaning the target of halving the proportion of people without access to safe water was achieved. Worldwide, 2.1 billion people have gained access to improved sanitation. MDG 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development Official development assistance from wealthy countries to developing countries increased by 66 per cent in real terms between 2000 and 2014, reaching 135.2 billion. What comes next The MDGs successor the Sustainable Development Goals are due to be adopted by world leaders at a summit in New York in late September. All countries as well as aid agencies, businesses and the public working in collaborative partnership will implement this universal agenda for a transformed world. And the first order of business will be reaching the furthest behind first. For World Vision this means reaching vulnerable children in the worlds hardest places to live. They are the children in remote areas, in the midst of intractable conflicts and buffeted by droughts or flooding caused by the effects of climate change. ![]()
