The Millennium
Development Goals Report 2006 launched
The Millennium Development Goals Report 2006 is based on a master set of data
that has been compiled by an Inter-Agency and Expert Group on MDG Indicators led
by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations
Secretariat. The Group comprises representatives of the international
organizations whose activities include the preparation of one or more of the
series of statistical indicators that were identified as appropriate for
monitoring progress towards the MDGs, as reflected in the list below. A number
of national statisticians and outside expert advisers also contributed.

The Millennium Development Goals and
targets come from the Millennium Declaration, signed by 189 countries, including
147 heads of State and Government, in September 2000 (http://www.un.org/millennium/declaration/ares552e.htm). The
goals and targets are interrelated and should be seen as a whole. They represent
a partnership between the developed countries and the eveloping countries “to
create an environment at the national and global levels alike which is conducive
to development and the elimination of poverty”.
Note: Goals, targets and indicators effective 8 September 2003.
| a | For monitoring country poverty trends, indicators based on national poverty lines should be used, where available. |
| b | An alternative indicator under development is “primary completion rate”. |
| c | Amongst contraceptive methods, only condoms are effective in preventing HIV transmission. Since the condom use rate is only measured among women in union, it is supplemented by an indicator on condom use in high-risk situations (indicator 19a) and an indicator on HIV/AIDS knowledge (indicator 19b). Indicator 19c (contraceptive prevalence rate) is also useful in tracking progress in other health, gender and poverty goals. |
| d | This indicator is defined as the percentage of population aged 15-24 who correctly identify the two major ways of preventing the sexual transmission of HIV (using condoms and limiting sex to one faithful, uninfected partner), who reject the two most common local misconceptions about HIV transmission, and who know that a healthy-looking person can transmit HIV. However, since there are currently not a sufficient number of surveys to be able to calculate the indicator as defined above, UNICEF, in collaboration with UNAIDS and WHO, produced two proxy indicators that represent two components of the actual indicator. They are the following: a) percentage of women and men 15-24 who know that a person can protect herself/herself from HIV infection by consistent use of condom; b) percentage of women and men 15-24 who know a healthy-looking person can transmit HIV. |
| e | Prevention to be measured by the percentage of children under 5 sleeping under insecticide-treated bednets; treatment to be measured by percentage of children under 5 who are appropriately treated. |
| f |
An improved measure of the target for future years is under
development by the International Labour Organization. _________________________________________________________________________
