Will the Goal/Target be met? (probably, potentially, unlikely, no data)

State of Supportive Environment (strong, fair, weak but improving, weak)

Combat HIV and AIDS and TB

Have halted and begun to reverse the spread of HIV by 2015

Strong

Promote gender equality and empower women

Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education preferably by 2005 and in all levels of education by 2015

Probably

Strong

Reduce child mortality

Reduce by two-thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under-five mortality rate

Potentially

Weak but improving

  

 

Fair

 

Weak but improving

Develop a global partnership for development

Develop further, an open, rule-based, non-discriminatory trading and financial system

Potentially

Weak but improving

Note: The determination of whether the goal/target will be met is based on a linear extrapolation of current trends. In determining the state of the supportive environment, five basic areas are considered: (1) Does the Government have a policy in the area? (2) Is there a coordinating body? (3) Does it have the capacity to implement? (4) Is funding available; and (5) Is the goal/target a Government of Lesotho priority?
