Sub-Saharan Africa to Miss Deadline for Most UN Development Aims

Sub-Saharan African nations will miss the deadline to achieve most of the development targets they aimed to reach by 2015, according to the United Nations. The UN in 2000 established the Millennium Development Goals, a 15-year plan to reduce poverty, lessen hunger, cut child mortality, and boost access to health care in poor nations. Sub-Saharan Africa is the only developing region where extreme poverty has risen at a steady pace. Progress was made in Sub-Saharan Africa but population growth, conflict, and declines in aid make reaching many MDG targets by 2015 unlikely. The proportion of people accessing clean water has climbed by 16 per cent between 1990 and 2012, while the amount of Africans with improved sanitation facilities increased to 30 per cent from 24 per cent over the same period.
