MDG UPDATE 2012 25 October, 2012
Progress on MDG’s: key trends and concerns • Since 2000 the progress was significant but uneven; • Recent economic crisis has not undermined the progress significantly; • Key risks: global and regional economic outlook (growth/remittances); budgetary austerity vs. human development priorities; food & energy prices; climate vulnerability (agriculture) • Key concerns: new drivers of economic growth; inclusion (urban-rural divide, gender) and sustainability; lack of reliable data in certain areas
MDG progress: confusing traffic lights • MDG 1. Reduce extreme poverty and hunger • MDG 2. Achieve universal access to general compulsory education • MDG 3. Promote gender equality and empower women • MDG 4. Reduce child mortality • MDG 5. Improve maternal health • MDG 6. Combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and other diseases • MDG 7. Ensure environmental sustainability • MDG 8. Develop a global partnership for development
Poverty down, but… • Poverty has been continuously slowing (21.9% in 2010 vs. 30.2% in 2006) • Key drivers: remittances and rising incomes from agriculture (2010) • Still predominantly rural phenomenon (80%), children are hit particularly hard (24.2%) • Risk group: rural, lower educated households, with big number of children
“But’s” continued • Children from these households - lower level of gross enrollment into compulsory education – lower access to health care and higher risk of mortality - “path dependency”? • No gender discrepancies • Sustainable access to sewerage 54.6% in 2011 vs. target of 65% in 2015. • High inequality: rural up to 90% of havenot’s
Gender in focus • Progress on gender equality is uneven • Moldovan women are mostly employed in low-paying jobs and occupy lower positions in the job hierarchy • Politically under-represented (electable and executive function, central and local) • Wage gap falling but still big (74.4%): lower paid sectors, lower paid positions
HIV/AIDS and TB: uphill battle? • HIV incidence/TB trends in general population and adults aged 15-24 erratic; • Generally high (17.6 cases per 100,000 vs. target of 8; 12.89 vs 10), but particularly in Transnistria • TB treatment rate (success in treatment) is low (54% of new cases, 34% of re-treated)
