Comparing Millennium Development Goals Senegal & Bolivia

Senegal Bolivia

Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger Senegal in the last 20 years has dropped the amount of people making less than $1 a day by more than 50%. They also protected more than 500, 000 people through dam rehabilitation. Bolivia is unlikely to get close to achieving MDG 1 in eradicating extreme poverty, The national strategy for reducing poverty needs economic growth rates of over 5% each year but growth has only been 1. 5% in recent years. Extreme poverty stayed around 37% between 1997 and 2001.

Achieve Universal Primary Education Senegal’s primary enrolment rates rose from 60% in 1991 to 82. 5% in 2005. Enrolment conditions in secondary education (High School) and vocational training are limited. Bolivia During the 1990 s, Bolivian enrolment rates (enrolling children into education) improved greatly, especially in urban areas. The dropout rate from primary school reduced from 9. 4% in 1997 to 5. 7% in 2001. However, the quality of education in Bolivia is still low, especially in mathematics and language.

Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women Senegal Sustainable forestry earns about $12. 5 million/year, with women being 1/3 of the cause. Bolivia Currently rates of school enrollment are not significantly different for boys and girls, with 94 girls enrolled in primary school for every 100 boys, and 80 girls per 100 boys enrolled in secondary school. In the population at large, 7 percent of males are illiterate, compared with 19 percent of females.

Reduce Child Mortality Senegal Malnutrition has dropped from 20% to 10% Bolivia In 1990, child mortality was 116 per 1, 000 live births. The results of the country's 2003 National Survey of Demography and Health found the rate had declined to 75 per 1, 000. To meet the 2015 target, Bolivia must reach a rate of about 40 per 1, 000 live births.

Improve Maternal Health Senegal Access to contraceptives and maternal health clinics are still developing. Most women do not have the access to these things. Also high rates of mental problems have been reported in Senegal. Bolivia From an alarming 390 deaths per 100, 000 live births in 1990, the rate has dropped to 230 per 100, 000, according to recent figures. The proportion of births in which mothers received a doctor's care during pregnancy rose from 49. 5 percent in 1994 to 70. 2 percent in 2003. The proportion of doctor-attended deliveries rose from 42. 7 percent to 55. 9 percent during the same period, while institutional deliveries rose from 42. 3 percent to 57. 1 percent.

Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Other Diseases Senegal 25 -50% drop in reported cases of HIV/AIDS. There's been a 30% increase in children that are protected from malaria. Bolivia Sexually transmitted infections affect 14 of every 1, 000 Bolivians of reproductive age. Bolivia lacks the resources it needs to guarantee antiretroviral treatment to people living with HIV/AIDS.

Ensure Environmental Sustainability Senegal Government has sought to give funding to the building of better sanitation sources. They raised the level from 19% to 34% Bolivia Under the project ‘El Niňo’, 28 rural roads in Bolivia have already been improved, 27 irrigation canals have been created, and 21 special anti-flooding structures have been built to protect areas at high risk of flooding. In areas of drought, 319 small reservoirs have been created, and 179 wells have been built.

Develop a Global Partnership for Development Senegal Not much has really been done in the last 10 years to fix the debt of Senegal. 16 out of 100 people have internet access in the country. It used to be 1 out of 100 in 2002. Telephone line and cell subscribers was at 13. 21 in 2004 and has been on a steady incline since the 90's Bolivia In March 2006, the World Bank agreed to cancel the debt of some of the world’s poorest countries, including Bolivia’s. The World Bank is also providing Bolivia with interest free credits to help the country tackle poverty. The credit is being used to improve health, education and water supplies, especially for those people living in rural areas.
