UNDAF Analytical Basis

• MDGs in BiH2013 Draft Report - Progress towards
  the realisation of MDGs in BiH

7
Achievement of MDGs in BiH by 2015?

• 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.

  rate of 35, improve 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)
