A Future Within Reach 2008

Regional Partnerships for the Millennium Development Goals in Asia and the Pacific

Books, Periodicals, Studies, and Reports

ISBN: 978-92-1-120547-3
Publication Date: April 2008
New

The third Millennium Development Goals report for Asia and the Pacific attempts to shed light on questions that are difficult to answer. How many of the region’s people are living in extreme poverty? How many children are going to school? How many women are dying at childbirth? As importantly, the report attempts to peer into the future: what will be the situation in 2015 – the target date for all of the MDG targets? This report is a tripartite initiative of the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
