Title
UN Progress Chart 2010
Abstract
Marking the start of a new century—and a new chapter in human history—United Nations
Member States agreed in 2000 on eight Millennium Development Goals. The vision propelling
the initiative, set out in the Millennium Declaration, is a world with less poverty, hunger and disease
and greater access to health care and education; a world in which women and men have equal
opportunities and natural resources are conserved for future generations. The MDGs also call for a
global partnership for development involving the private sector and civil society that includes sharing
the benefits of new technologies with countries worldwide.
Progress towards the MDGs is monitored through a set of 21 measurable and time-bound targets and
60 indicators. Most of the targets are to be achieved by 2015 and start from a 1990 baseline. This
chart presents an assessment of progress so far for selected indicators and regions, on the basis of
information available as of June 2010. While some indicators reflect data as recent as 2010, others rely
on older statistics, dating as far back as 2005.
