MDGs in BiH

2013 Draft Report - Progress towards the realisation of MDGs in BiH

UNDAF Analytical Basis


• Significant progress achieved in certain areas and limited in others

• To date, not a single MDG has been fully achieved in BiH (assessed against targets set for each MDG)

• Based on the key parameter/indicator MDG 4: Reduction of Child Mortality has been achieved, however success is overshadowed due to inequalities

• Considerable improvements are evident with MDG2 Education, MDG 6 HIV/AIDS and MDG 8 Global Partnership (in particular relating to a reduction in ODA).

• Some progress has been made in relation to MDG 3 Gender Equality and MDG5 Maternal Health

• Limited progress has been made in MDG7 Environment.

• Least progress is evident in relation to the achievement of MDG1 Poverty Reduction.

Achievement of MDGs in BiH by 2015?

access to education, improve quality of education) – MDG 4 Reduction of Child Mortality and MDG 5 Maternal Health (through

improvement of access to services of vulnerable groups such as Roma)– MDG 6 HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis (focus on decrease of tuberculosis
