Millennium Development Goals: State, Trends and Prospects
Summary: The IHSI's December 2009 statistical review of Haiti's Millennium Development Goals, goal by goal, with general demographic and economic data and tables in a first section and the eight goals treated in a second.
Key Findings
- IHSI prepared a statistical review of Haiti's status, trends and prospects for the eight Millennium Development Goals.
- The document was designed to complement HaitiInfo-2009 and respond to concerns about the lack of current reliable data for MDG assessment.
- It reviews each MDG through current situation, trends, supporting programs, problems, constraints, comments and prospects.
- Haiti's unstable socio-political and economic situation is described as having delayed MDG work and weakened assessment of progress.
- The report presents demographic, macroeconomic, poverty, education, gender, child mortality, maternal health, disease, environmental and partnership indicators.
- The conclusion emphasizes regular data collection, surveys and censuses, administrative data, stronger statistical institutions and an institutional MDG monitoring arrangement linked to the DSNCRP.
Full Description
Each goal is treated the same way: introduction, current situation and trends, support programs and actions, problems and constraints, then commentary and prospects. Published a month before the January 2010 earthquake, it is therefore the last full statistical picture of Haiti's MDG position before that event, which is what makes it worth holding beyond its original purpose.
