Millennium Development Goals in Yemen
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
Despite advancements on many development fronts, Yemen continues to face considerable development challenges. It ranks 153 out of 177 countries in the 2007 UNDP Human Development Index and progress in human and other development indicators, while steady, has been too slow to assure attainment of the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, with the possible exception of universal primary education and reduce child mortality.

The structural and long - term development challenges facing Yemen have undermined the efforts of the State, as well as other stakeholders, in improving peoples' livelihoods. Population growth remains very high at 3.02% per annum. Sharp imbalances between the available water resources and consumption lead to increasing depletion of groundwater reserves in many parts of Yemen. Although government efforts to improve access to basic education are showing promise, more than 2 million children still do not attend school. Rates of child malnutrition (46 per cent) and maternal mortality (366 for 100,000 live births) remains high and might continue to grow if no concrete measures are put in place. According to 2004 census, unemployment is on the rise (16.3) as a result of a ruthless economy. Despite efforts to improve access to basic social needs, infrastructure remains weak, with limited electricity coverage (30 per cent), access to safe water (36 per cent), and telecommunications (4 fixed lines per 100 inhabitants). The country has an overstaffed, under - trained and under - paid civil service, meaning that the promotion of democratic governance is a premise for effective and transparent use of national and foreign resources and investments.

In an effort to address these problems, the Government has included a comprehensive set of socio - economic development goals in its National Strategic Vision 2025, by which time it aims to become a middle income country.

Yemen was selected as one of the eight United Nations Millennium Project pilot countries, and an MDG Needs Assessment was conducted in 2005 to identify investment requirements to achieve the Goals by 2015. The National Socio - economic Development Plan for Poverty Reduction (2005 - 2010), which incorporated the recommendations of the second Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP), was formulated and aligned to the MDGs, based on the Needs Assessment Report.

For the past 15 years, Yemen has received limited international aid, well below international averages for Low Development Countries (LDCs). In November 2006, a Donor Consultative Group meeting resulted in$5 billion in pledges (for the period 2007 - 2010), of which over half came from the countries of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf. These pledges need to be transformed into concrete disbursements to activities aligned with the Development Plan if Yemen is to achieve the MDGs by 2015
