Asia-Pacific regional MDG report 2011/12: accelerating equitable achievement of the MDGs - closing gaps in health and nutrition outcomes
This new report by UNESCAP, ADB & UNDP focuses on disparities in MDG achievement within and between countries, to address major bottlenecks holding back MDG progress in Asia-Pacific region.
The report, Accelerating equitable achievement of the MDGs: closing gaps in health and nutrition outcomes, focuses on disparities in MDG achievement within and between countries, to address major bottlenecks holding back MDG progress in Asia and the Pacific region. Even countries making rapid economic progress continue to lose shocking numbers of children before their fifth birthdays as well as thousands of mothers who dies unnecessarily during childbirth. Given the lagging performance on health outcomes in the region, the report delves into the causes and shows the many opportunities that exist to achieve good health for all. It discusses options, both within and outside of the health sector that could help bring about a turnaround in performance on health in the region, thus accelerating progress in achievement of the MDGs.
