  1. Millennium Developmental Goals Qater vs. Cote D’ivoire

  2. Qatar’s Progress on Millennium Development Goals

  3. 8 Millennium Goals • Eradicate Hunger & Extreme Poverty • Achieve universal primary education • Promote gender equality and empower women • Reduce child mortality • Improve maternal health • Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases • Ensure environmental sustainability • Develop a global partnership for development

  4. #1 Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger I thought this was maybe a little bit of a strange way to measure poverty but the UN website I got my statistics from had the number of mobile phone subscriptions in Qatar. I guess that makes sense because extreme poverty is just struggling to get food to eat so if you have enough money for a cell phone, you are most definitely not in extreme poverty. These are the number of subscriptions for cell phones in Qatar. Percentage of Children in Qatar who are moderately or severely underweight I wasn’t able to find an exact number for the current percentage of underweight children but I did find that the OPT, which Qatar is a part of, has reduced underweight prevalence on average 5.3% per year.

  5. #2 Universal Primary Education The percent of adults in Qatar who are literate was 77.03 in 1990 and was 88.96 in 2006, which are the most recent statistics. Qatar actually has a college called Qatar University that was established in 1973. In 2009, there were 8,221 students and it has an alumni of 30,000 students. Percentage of pupils starting grade 1 who reach last grade of primary, both sexes

  6. #3 Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women One of the indicators that the United Nations uses to measure the progress of gender equality is the percentage of women who hold seats in national parliament. There are currently no women holding any seats in parliament in Qatar but women make up 70% of the student body at Qatar University. Percentage of kids who start 1st grade and make it to last grade of primary education. Boys Girls

  7. #4 Reduce Child Mortality One way that the United Nations measures child mortality is the percentage of death for children under 5. Another way that they measure it is the number of children who are immunized by measles at 1 year old. I thought this was a good way to measure because immunization is very important in keeping children safe and healthy. For Qatar, they have gone from 79 in 1990 to 99 in 2010. Percentage of child mortalities under five per 1,000 live births

  8. #5 Improve Maternal Health During 2011, there were 20,314 deliveries. 99.45% of these deliveries were attended by a trained professionals in a maternal facility. Only .55% were out of hospitals. There were only 142 stillbirths. 100% of the mothers had at least one antenatal visit and all of the births were examined by a pediatrician and put in the national birth registry. As of 2011, there were 1.63 facilities per 50,000 people that offer obstetric care. Maternal Mortality Ratio per 100,000 live births

  9. #7 Ensure Environmental Sustainability Marine areas protected per square kilometer Consumption of all ozone depleting substances in ODP metric tons

  10. #8 Develop a Global Partnershipfor Development Qataris have a need for certain specialized skills within their economy. To meet these needs, they have established several joint ventures with global partners. Some examples of their efforts to reach out globally are: a shirt sponsorship with Barcelona, Spain, Qatar MICE Development Institute (QMDI) is a joint venture with Singapore, and Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Publishing now prints books in English and Arabic to promote literacy culture throughout the country. Qatar Shirt Sponsorship with Barcelona

  11. Qater: Conclusion In conclusion, I think that Qatar is doing pretty well. They are the richest country in the world because of their oil resources so I thought they would be really advanced on these goals and as I went through each goal, I was convinced that they are working hard on their goals and have met almost every one. They don’t have extreme poverty or hunger, they have a college, there are no Qatari women in national parliament yet but they are the majority of the college, the percentage of child deaths has gone down and the immunization rate has gone up, maternal mortality rate has gone down, there are more ozone depleting substances consumed now but there are more marine areas protected, and finally they have been reaching out to other countries in global partnerships. I think Qatar has the potential to become a very powerful country.

  12. Cote D’ivoire’s Progress on Millennium Development Goals

  18. #6 Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases Female Aids Prevalence 2001: 8.3%, today: 3.9%, Target: 0% Côte d’Ivoire is the most affected country in Western Africa.

In many cases, a country’s economic territory largely coincides with its customs territory, which is the territory in which the customs laws of a country apply in full
