Who Are the MDG Trailblazers? A great overview, and a few surprises
The Center for Global Development’s August 2010 working paper analyzing country MDG performance—Who Are the MDG Trailblazers?—includes a great overview, and a few surprises. Some of the MDG stars, for example, are not the stars of economic development. Some of the high-MDG-performing countries with pervasive high rates of poverty include Honduras, Laos, Ethiopia, Uganda, Burkina Faso, Nepal, Cambodia, and Ghana. Less surprising, many of the poorest performance countries are those still effected by conflict situations. As we approach the upcoming MDG Summit, which will be held September 20-22 in New York, it is fascinating to look at the figures behind the fanfare. This report provides the most up-to-date data available.
