Title
UN Progress Chart 2009
Abstract
In the 2000 Millennium Declaration, United Nations Member States committed to building a better
world in the 21st century. They reaffirmed that pledge at the 2005 World Summit and rallied around
a common vision that focused on eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, extending primary education
to every child, ensuring that women have the same opportunities as men, improving the health of
mothers and children, averting new cases of HIV, tuberculosis and malaria, achieving a sustainable
environment, establishing a new global partnership for development that engages the private sector
and civil society organizations, and making the benefit of new technologies available to everyone.
These Millennium Development Goals are translated into 21 targets to be achieved mostly by 2015,
starting from a baseline year of 1990. This chart presents an assessment of progress towards selected key
targets on the basis of information available as of June 2009. Depending on the indicator, the latest
available information could date back to as early as 2005 or as late as 2009.
