Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The National Development Planning Board (Bappenas) has said that the government has achieved three targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
"In trying to meet its commitment on the MDGs, Indonesia has faced big challenges, such as free trade, oil price fluctuation, climate change and global warming impacts, as well as the European economic crisis," National Development Planning Minister/Chairperson of Bappenas, Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana said in a press statement here on Wednesday.
Indonesia's achievements include the decline in the proportion of people with per capita income of less than one US dollar per day, gender equality indicated by the net enrollment ratios of girls to boys in high schools and the literacy rate ratio of women to men.
The Indonesian government has also successfully reduced the prevalence of tuberculosis.
The status of the MDGs' target achievement could be categorized into three groups, namely targets that have been achieved; targets which have indicated significant progress and are expected to be achieved by 2015; and targets that still need hard work to achieve.(IGT)
