MDG progress Report 2007 This report is based on a master set of data that has been compiled by an Inter-Agency and
Expert Group on MDG Indicators led by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs
of the United Nations Secretariat, in response to the wishes of the General Assembly for
periodic assessment of progress towards the MDGs. The Group comprises representatives
of the international organizations whose activities include the preparation of one or more
of the series of statistical indicators that were identified as appropriate for monitoring
progress towards the MDGs, as reflected in the list below. A number of national
statisticians and outside expert advisers also contributed. in Public bookmarkswith 2007englishmillennium_development_goalsmillennium_doelstellingenrapportreport
Millennium Development Goals: 2007 Progress Chart The Millennium Declaration established 2015 as the target date for achieving most of the MDGs, with 1990 generally used as a baseline. The chart below shows progress as of June 2007, based on data for selected indicators in each of the eight Goals. The assessment is based on an analysis of trends between 1990 and the latest year for which data are available. Given the time lag between collecting data and analysing them, the latest information available for some of the indicators is from 2004 or 2005. in Public bookmarkswith 2007chartenglishmillennium_development_goalsmillennium_doelstellingenpdf
