Millennium Development Goals

Introduction

The targets chosen for this paper represent some of the most significant issues the world is currently facing. The epidemic of HIV/AIDS is rapidly rising and a cause of concern. Another such concern is that of deaths of children below the age of 5 years due to lack of access to basic necessities. Maternal mortality rate is one of the leading targets of the MDG's. In countries in Africa and Asia, mothers of lose their lives while giving birth. The increasing gap between the rich and poor has forced us to reduce the population of people that live below the poverty line. This is also one of the targets of the MDG's. Hunger due to lack of food is a concern all over the world. The United Nations is looking to cut down the number of people suffering from hunger. Lastly, one of targets is to focus on sustainable urban development and save the natural and environmental resources such as forest from urbanization.

By 2015, halt the spread of HIV / AIDS and begun to reverse current

The prevalence of HIV / AIDS among measured pregnant women attending ANC is estimated at 4.3%. This prevalence is substantially uniform be it rural or urban. It is also observed rejuvenation and feminisation of illness. The sex ratio female / male HIV increased of 1.11 in 1990 to 1.25 in 2005. The data Partial available show that in the East, the rate prevalence is much higher in comparison with the western provinces. The systematic use sexual violence by combatants in conflict areas has contributed to the spread of the epidemic. Moreover, there is an improvement of knowledge of transmission modes of HIV / AIDS since between 2001 and 2007 the ratio rose to a 10 women to one woman in seven. In the DRC, malaria remains endemic and major the leading cause of morbidity with nearly 10 episodes per year per child while the level endemicity of 3 episodes per year per person. It is estimated between 150,000 and 250,000, the number children under 5 who die each year from malaria. The disease has also top three causes of death in most vulnerable groups, the children of fewer than 5 and the other pregnant women. The EDS was estimated at 31% prevalence of fever in children less than 5 years.

Reduce by two thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the mortality rate among children under 5 years

A good development strategy is based among others on human capital, the survival of children under 5 years remains a concern, especially since the increased mortality rate mortgage opportunities for education and therefore the output of the circle cycle of poverty.

Unfortunately thousand children born alive, more than one hundred die before age five and. The value of this indicator has increased from 146 children per thousand in 1998 to 144 children per thousand in 2004. By 2015, this rate should be 75.8% for the achievement of the target mentioned above, which appears very unlikely.
