Status at a glance updated 15th January 2008

Goal

Target

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

Potentially

Strong

Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people below the national poverty line

 

Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger

Potentially

 

 

 

Unlikely

Fair

 

 

 

Fair

Achieve universal primary education

Ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling

Probably

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

Improve maternal health

Reduce by three-quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio

Unlikely

Weak

Ensure environmental sustainability

Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes and reverse the loss of environmental resources

Potentially

 

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?
