Assessing Progress in Africa towards the Millennium Development Goals
MDG Report 2008

Recent evidence suggests that progress in Africa in meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by the target date is picking up although a lot remains to be done. Significant progress has been reported for indicators such as universal primary education and gender equality. Ghana, for example, is reported to be on track to meet the target of halving poverty by 2015. And there has been significant reduction in the prevalence of HIV.
