Philippines 2010 Progress Report on the MDGs
How well is the Philippines doing in achieving the MDGs?
So far, the country has been doing well in the following areas: (a) reducing under-five mortality rate and infant mortality rate; (b) reducing both the prevalence rate and the death rate associated with malaria; (c) increasing tuberculosis treatment success rate; (d) increasing the proportion of households with access to safe water supply; and (e) providing equal opportunities for girls in the area of education. However, we need to catch up in three major areas where we are lagging behind: poverty, education and maternal health.
The Philippines Fourth Progress Report on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), as with the previous three reports, is a result of the collaborative effort among government agencies, academe, research institutions, civil society and the UN Country Team (UNCT). It provides a comprehensive review of the progress of MDGs in the Philippines since the adoption of the Millennium Declaration by 189 member states of the UN during the Millennium Summit in September 2000.
