Book Millennium Development Goals for Health in Europe and Central Asia

Download or read book Millennium Development Goals for Health in Europe and Central Asia written by Bernd Rechel and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the appropriateness of health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for the countries of the Europe and Central Asia region, and the implications for policy choices at the regional, subregional and country levels. Findings include that, for the region as a whole, proportionately more gains in life expectancy would accrue from the control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) than from achieving the targets in the classic MDGs. Other issues highlighted include the importance of reducing morbidity and premature mortality from NCDs and external causes across the entire region; and the need to focus on the classic MDG indicators (infant mortality rates, under-five mortality rates and maternal mortality ratios) in the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews the status of the 28 countries of Europe and Central Asia (ECA) with respect to the environmental Millennium Development Goal (MDG). The aim of this goal is to 'ensure environmental sustainability,' which is elaborated by a set of three targets and eight indicators. The indicators for the environment MDG are important not only as measures of environmental sustainability, but also as contributors to the health and poverty goals. In ECA, these linkages are clearly brought out for the water supply and sanitation indicators, but also apply to the carbon reduction, forestry and biodiversity indicators. The three targets and its indicator are: (i) halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation: (a) proportion of population with sustainable access to an improved water source; and (b) proportion of population with access to basic sanitation; (ii) integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programs and reverse the losses of environmental resources: (a) energy use (kg oil equivalent) per $1 GDP(Purchasing Power Parity(PPP)); (b) carbon dioxide emissions (per capita); (c) proportion of land area covered by forest; (d) ratio of area protected to maintain biological diversity to surface area; and (e) proportion of population using solid fuels; (iii) by 2020 to have achieved a significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers: (a) proportion of households with access to secure tenure.

Book EU Development Assistance to Central Asia

Download or read book EU Development Assistance to Central Asia written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The court examined how the European Commission (EC) and the European External Action Service (EEAS) planned and managed development assistance to the Central Asian republics (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) in the period 2007-2. In challenging circumstances, planning and allocation of assistance were generally satisfactory. Implementation was less so. The court makes a number of recommendations. The EC and the EEAS should design any future regional programmes so that they are likely to achieve a genuine regional dimension. They should concentrate all assistance provided on a small number of sectors. For any continuing budget support programmes, they should define and apply robust and objectively verifiable conditions, in particular giving sufficient attention to support for anti-corruption mechanisms."-- Page [4] of cover.

Book Engaging Central Asia

Download or read book Engaging Central Asia written by Bhavna Dave and published by CEPS. This book was released on 2008 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In July 2007, the European Union initiated a fundamentally new approach to the countries of Central Asia. The launch of the EU Strategy for Central Asia signals a qualitative shift in the Union's relations with a region of the world that is of growing importance as a supplier of energy, is geographically situated in a politically sensitive area - between China, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan and the south Caucasus - and contains some of the most authoritarian political regimes in the world. In this volume, leading specialists from Europe, the United States and Central Asia explore the key challenges facing the European Union as it seeks to balance its policies between enhancing the Union's energy, business and security interests in the region while strengthening social justice, democratisation efforts and the protection of human rights. With chapters devoted to the Union's bilateral relations with Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan and to the vital issues of security and democratisation, 'Engaging Central Asia' provides the first comprehensive analysis of the EU's strategic initiative in a part of the world that is fast emerging as one of the key regions of the 21st century."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Operationalizing the Health and Education

Download or read book Operationalizing the Health and Education written by Weltbank and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this report is to present a generic framework for analysis and policy action for fuller attainment of the health and education Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Central Asia. The framework focuses on the service delivery aspects of achieving the MDGs and emphasizes: a) monitoring outcomes to identify groups which are not achieving MDGs, b) identifying interventions which are effective in raising MDG performance, c) targeting interventions to groups which are not meeting MDGs, and d) strengthening incentives to service providers and users to raise MDG outcomes for these groups. The framework is illustrated with case studies on health and education in the Kyrgyz Republic. As the cases studies show, application of the approach requires good information on the status o f MDG attainment, and the constraints to fuller attainment - including, crucially, qualitative dimensions of MDG attainment, and resource constraints. The Kyrgyz Republic was chosen to illustrate the framework because prior analytical and project work provide a relatively rich base of knowledge and experience and because there is significant government ownership of the key principles involved in the approach. The case studies do not aim to present new analysis of the technical issues in the health and education sectors in the Kyrgyz Republic. Rather, they aim to bring together relevant existing sector knowledge and lessons of experience in order to derive the options for moving ahead more aggressively on MDG attainment in the health and education sectors.
