Millennium Development GoalsBhutan & BangladeshAlicia Madsen & Diana Garcia
Determine which country is closer to achieving its developmental goal (*=success)
Eradicate Extreme Hunger and Poverty
*Bhutan* Bhutan has experienced
significant declines in poverty. Bhutan was able to reduce
poverty from 36.3% in 2000 to 12.0% in 2012.
An estimated 12% of the population is found to be poor.
Poverty is linked to Bhutan’s low food production and weak agricultural systems.
Bhutan is well to achieving their extreme poverty and hunger goal by 2015.
Bangladesh Poor water quality Investing in nutrition to improve child
and maternal health Government has adopted its Vision
2021 and associated Perspective Plan 2010-2021, goal of graduation from LDC to middle-income status
47 million people are still below the poverty line
Increased per-capita income by more than 130 percent (reducing poverty rate by 60 percent)
Rice production has more than tripled
On track and likely to meet their goal of eradicating extreme hunger
Poverty (Population living on less than 1 US$ per day): 36% (1990-2004)
Achieve Universal Primary Education
*Bhutan* The Gross Primary Enrollment
Ratio for Bhutan has increased from 55% in 1990 to 118% in 2012 (showing an average growth of 4.0% per year)
1% of 6-12 year old children are studying abroad and around 2% of the 6-12 year olds are enrolled in monastic institutions
The Royal Government is confident the target of 100% NPER will be achieved before 2015.
Bangladesh Secondary and tertiary education
is limited & quality of education requires further strengthening.
Gender parity has been achieved at several levels and girls are outnumbering boys even at tertiary level.
Budgetary, on education nearly doubled from 8.16 percent to 15.51percent between 1980 and 2000
Total Youth Literacy Rate (15–24 years) 64% (1995-2004)
Despite efforts by the Government to promote education levels of illiteracy are still very high
60 million Bangladeshis are illiterate
Goal #3Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women-Equal rights and allowing all genders to have a say in the government
Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women
*Bhutan* Girls’ enrollment in school is
about 50%, at primary and secondary education level in 2012.
Girl’s enrollment in the Secondary education has increased from 45% in 2002 to 53.5% in 2012
They are on their way to meeting their goal; slowly but surely
Bangladesh 60 percent of women reported
experiencing domestic and occupational violence in 2011
Women’s labor force participation rates vs men at 36 percent versus 82.5 percent
4 Targets 1: Eliminate violence
against women and girls 2: Promote the human
rights of adolescent girls 3: Women and men benefit
equally from the economy 4: Women have an equal
say in decisions that affect their lives
Reduce Child Mortality
Bhutan Between 1990 and 2012,
mortality of under-five children has been reduced by half.
Three quarters of the target has been achieved by Bhutan.
*Bangladesh* Life expectancy at birth
increased 67.2 years in 2009, maternal and infant mortality rates have fallen markedly.
Goal: reducing adolescent girls’ childbearing
Infant mortality rates have fallen markedly
Achieved; reduce the under-5 mortality rate by two-thirds.
Remarkable progress has been made: child mortality
Improve Maternal Health
*Bhutan* Bhutan has reduced
maternal mortality rates between 1990 and 2012 from 560 in 1990 to 155 in 2012 (nearly ¾!)
Significant progress of ensuring that health personnel attend all births has been made from just 19% in 1990 to 69% in 2012
Bhutan is well on track to achieve their goal to below 140 per 100,000 live births by 2015.
Bangladesh Investing in nutrition to
improve child and maternal health
Reducing adolescent girls’ childbearing; reduce overall maternal mortality
Bangladesh Maternal Mortality Survey 2010 shows only 26.5 percent of births attended by skilled health personnel
Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Other Diseases
*Bhutan* In 2012, a total of 297 cases
had been detected It is estimated that more than
500 people could be infected but are not yet detected
Total number of cases: <.01% About 88% of all HIV/AIDS
cases detected so far fall into the age group between the ages of 20 to 49.
Only 194 cases of malaria were detected in 2012
1993: 63 deaths 2007: 2 deaths
Bangladesh HIV infection rates are
higher among migrant workers than the general population
Number of new infections is still increasing
Bangladesh has succeeded in keeping HIV prevalence at a very low level of around 0.01%
Ensure Environmental Sustainability
*Bhutan* The country continues to
maintain a healthy forest cover of 81% of the total land area with 28% maintained as protected areas.
Bhutan in 4th place among the Asian countries in its environmental performance
Bhutan has met their Environmental Sustainability goal
Bangladesh Focused on conservation of
natural resources Socioeconomic environment;
enhanced protection from climate change and natural disasters
Transitioning to low-carbon energy sources while promoting energy-efficient technologies
Being more cautious of who they trade with to ensure quality of resources
Goal: fully off track and unlikely to be met
Goal #8Develop a Global Partnership for Development-Reaching out to other nations; assistance, trade, and expansion
Develop a Global Partnership for Development
Bhutan Youth unemployment rate has
increased from 2.6% in 1998 to 7.3% in 2012
Telephone lines has increased from 4052 in 1990 to 35420 in 2007
Cellphone services introduced in November 2003 also witnessed a major growth in the number of users (5,000 at the end of 2003 to 19,000 by the end of 2004)
MDG Acceleration Framework (MDGAF) has been put in place in Bhutan to deal with this issue.
Improvement has been decreasing and it is unlikely that Bhutan will meet its goal.
*Bangladesh* Out of 34 member states of the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), only nine countries provided US$ 363.99 million ODA to Bangladesh in 2010-11
Strong and reliable telecommunication infrastructure
Cellular subscribers per 100 population are 64.6% in 2012 which was zero in 1990
Internet users per 100 population is 20.5% in 2012, which was 0.15, 0.20 and 3.4 in 2005, 2006 and 2008
