Eradicate Poverty

and Hunger Achieved Halving

the proportion of people living in poverty but inequality has remained high

Hunger has been eradicated but nutritional problem should be highly concerned

Achieve Universal

Primary Education Gross Enrolment

Rate is higher than 100%, but the Net Rate is not.

Quality of Education is a major problem

Promote Gender Equality

Gender disparity in primary and secondary education has been eliminated

However, proportion of women in the national Parliament and executive positions have remained low

?? Reduce Child Mortality

Very low U5MR and IMR that it is not realistic to expect a two-thirds reduction

However, the U5MR and IMR is decreasing except in the highland and the 3 southernmost provinces

?? Improve Maternal Health

Maternal mortality ratio is too low to expect three-quarters reduction

However, the rate is decreasing except in the highland

Adolescent Pregnancy and Reproductive health are now an emerging issues

Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Other Disease

Have halted the spread of HIV/AIDS but the HIV infection among the population at high risk has remained high

Tuberculosis infection and coronary artery disease is rising

Ensure Environment Sustainability

Potentially achieved the target as the proportion of protected areas and wetlands have increased

However, natural resources has been degraded and energy usage, waste management, water quality and air quality are still a problem

Develop a Global Partnership

Achieved the target by providing academic assistance to Lao PDR, Myanmar and Cambodia

Impeding factors such as staff’s capacity, policies, regulations and budget have remained exist

Achieved Potentially Achieved ?? Not Applicable
