Progress for Children beyond Averages: Learning from the MDGS

United Nations Children's Fund Unicef

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: A child’s chance to survive and thrive is much greater in 2015 than it was when the global community committed to the MDGs in 2000. Data show significant progress in areas such as child survival, nutrition, mother to-child transmission of HIV and primary school enrolment, among others. These are impressive achievements, but they are only part of the story. This report also shows progress for the most vulnerable, proving that a more equitable world is within reach. But despite this progress, millions of the children in greatest need have been left behind – the most marginalized and vulnerable children whose future the MDGs were designed to safeguard.
