4. Reduce child mortality

• Reduce by 2/3 the mortality rate among children under 5 years old
Indicators
• Under-five mortality rate
The under-five mortality rate per 1000 lives births decreased from 106 to 83.
Progress so far, goal by goal…

5. Improve maternal health
Target
• Reduce by ¾ , between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio
Indicators
• Maternal mortality ratio
• Proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel
The odds that a woman will die from treatable and preventable complications of pregnancy and childbirth in SubSaharian Africa are 1 in 16 over the course of her lifetime, compared to 1 in 3,800 in the developed world.

6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
Target
• To halt by 2015, and begin to reverse , the spread of HIV/AIDS
Indicators
• HIV prevalence among 15-24 years old pregnant women, contraceptive prevalence rate, number of children orphaned by HIV
The number of people dying from AIDS worldwide increased to 2,9 million in 2006, and prevention measures are failing to keep pace with the growth of the epidemic.
In 2005, more than 15 million children had lost one or both parents to AIDS.
