planned for 2015, halving the proportion of people whose incomes were below $ 1 per day, and the hungry.
According to the secretary general of FAO, Jacques Diouf, in the present conditions, this target will be achieved or 20150. Despite the progress in East Asia and Pacific Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Caribbean, some pates in Europe and Central Asia did not succeed to reach the goal by 2015.
40% of the world population suffering from hunger and lack
Objective 2. Achieve universal primary education. BREACH
All children will complete a full course of primary schooling by 2015.
missing Again funds to ensure the viability of this initiative. Are needed 3,700 million dollars per year to reach the second point of the MDGs . Unfortunately, in 2015 nearly 47 million children will remain out of school and the African continent will not achieve this challenging goal until 2150.
To achieve universal primary education by 2015 will require about 18 million teachers more. The big challenge lies in sub-Saharan African countries. The region will have to raise the current number of teachers by 68% (from 2.4 to 4 million) in less than a decade.
About 100 million children of school age receive no training. in five African countries, not even half of the children is enrolled. South Asia, Oceania and Western Asia are also lagging behind with about 20% of children not attending school. Eight out of ten children out of school live in sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia.
The payment of external debt and structural adjustment, IMF and World Bank are forcing many countries without resources to cut its investment in education. The African continent debt pays four times more than it invests in health and education.
GOAL 3. Promote gender equality and empower women. FAILURE
It seeks to eliminate the gender disparity in primary and secondary education by 2015.
was drawn a more immediate objective to be achieved in 2005. NOT MEET . There is no guarantee of achieving by 2015.
in over 90 countries on gender inequality still exists in the vicinity education. Of all children out of school in the world, about 60% are girls. Women represent, similarly, two thirds of the 880 million illiterate adults in the world .
As for gender equality in the workplace, workers die at a higher rate than men in the informal economy with less chance of a paid post.
GOAL 4. REDUCE CHILD MORTALITY. BREACH
for 2015 is intended to reduce by two thirds the mortality rate of children under 5 years.
current trends, Goal 4 is met in 2045, 30 years after the agreement. This results in a human cost of 41 million more child deaths.
In 2010 about 11 million children died before their fifth birthday. If we go back to 1990 and looked into perspective, Infant mortality rates in the world have improved significantly only in North Africa, and to a lesser extent Latin America, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. Again, sub-Saharan Africa the situation is again chilling one of every six children dies before their fifth birthday . Half of these deaths are due to just five diseases: pneumonia, diarrhea, malaraia, measles and AIDS. Most of these little ones could be saved with low cost measures as serums, vaccines, antibiotics, installation of mosquito nets and water potibilizadoras plants.
GOAL 5. IMPROVE MATERNAL HEALTH. FAILURE
aim is to reduce the mortality rate due to three-quarters caaterna 2015.
Every year, more than half a million women die during pregnancy or childbirth, that is, every day minutes a woman dies due to these causes.
muren Although worldwide fewer women in childbirth , the numbers are reduced in the most affected countries. In Africa, only 46% attend deliveries, with the area that produce half of maternal deaths occurred das in the world. The risk of dying during pregnancy or childbirth affects one in every 16 women in sub-Saharan Africa, in rich countries one in 3,800 . To reduce maternal mortality rate still needed more resources aimed at the births are attended by doctors or trained personnel.
GOAL 6. COMBAT HIV / AIDS, malaria and other diseases . FAILURE
Halt and begin to reverse by 2015 the spread of HIV / AIDS and the incidence of diseases such as malaria and other diseases.
Saharan Africa has received only 60% of pledged funds for the fight against AIDS. If no further steps are taken soon to combat laenfermedad, in 2025, infection could spread to 90 million people in Africa. The prevalence of HIV has increased in all regions of the world and its spread has not been definitely stopped in any country.
Every year malaria and tuberculosis, together, cause death of almost as many people as AIDS. In Africa dies an average of 1 child every 30 seconds due to malaria. For its part, tuberculosis, far from diminishing, continues to show an upward trend.
GOAL 7. ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY . BREACH
It aims to incorporate sustainable development principles in poíticas and programs and reverse loss of environmental resources. Halve by 2015 the number of people without sustainable access to safe water or basic sanitation. Better to 2010 the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers.
At the rate that events unfold in 2015, about 2,170 million people around the world will not have improved sanitation and 650 million have no access to potable water sources, 70 million more than expected in the initial target . The consequences of environmental degradation will worsen significantly in the next 50 years.
According to the UN, sustainability can not be achieved with the current model of consumption and use of resources. The soils are degraded at an alarming rate, animal and plant species are disappearing at an unprecedented rate. CO2 emissions are not reduced (and try on another occasion the passivity towards the Kyoto Protocol) and the overexploitation of forests and marine resources increases.
consumption of unsafe water kills more people than war or terrorism. More than 5 million people-90% children-die from this cause. The same amount of water used by a person from a northern country in the toilet cistern or brushing teeth, is used by millions of citizens of the South for washing, drinking and cooking for a whole day.
GOAL 8. DEVELOP A GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR DEVELOPMENT . BREACH
aim is to address the special needs of the poorest Paissa. Develop an open trading and financial system, based on non-discriminatory rules. Deal comprehensively with the debt problems. Provide access to essential medicines for poor Paissa at a reasonable cost. Ensure that reap the benefits of new technologies. The help of the "rich" has been decreased by 25% in the last 15 years. Proporcinalmente spend their income, half of aid in the 60's. In 1990 the average ODA stood at 0.33% of GDP of donor countries. Today is, or 25%.
only 5 countries. Denmark, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden - have reached 0.7% of their income to help. 0.7% for developed countries is one-fifth of what they spend on defense or half of what destinana agricultural subsidies.
The countries of G-8 pledged to give about 50,000 million per year until 2010. Has just donated half of the promised aid and 80% of this increase comes from the cancellation debt of Iraq and Nigeria.
A few days of putting an end to a 2010 with a rather sour taste, far away is the glimmer of hope to see these goals realized if our governments to take sides who play them . Perhaps the echo of the bell ringing 31 December: FAILURE
