The papers in this collection address three of the priority health areas identified in the MDGs: antiretroviral therapy for the treatment of HIV/AIDS, reproductive health services (cervical cancer screening), and malaria treatment.
"Identifying the resources necessary to enlist the immense skills and energies of the worldwide volunteer movement in the drive to achieve the MDGs is an unparalleled opportunity," said Ms. Bellamy.
While efforts continue across to achieve the time-bound Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the objective, in the post-2015 process and beyond, is build a collective focus on identifying the challenges that threaten our future most, to chart solutions accordingly and allocate resources.
Better data collection and disaggregation – going beyond averages such as those used to measure the MDGs – can help identify the most vulnerable and excluded children and where they live.
The researchers will conduct systematic reviews to identify the most disadvantaged groups in relation to MDGs 4, 5, and 6 in each country (not all countries will look at each MDG outcome).
Part of the global Participate initiative to bring the perspectives of the poorest into the post-2015 debate, when the millennium development goals (MDGs) expire, Compass 2015 aims to identify the priorities and aspirations of poor or marginalised people.
To identify the most individually predictive features, random forest feature importance was assessed using the mean decrease in Gini index (MDG).
Its specific purpose is to store existing data, identify gaps in the MDG indicators, provide a single entry point for data on the MDG indicators, and disseminate information simply and attractively.
In 2000 the UN identified its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), three of which are explicitly devoted to health.
We identified four new goals distinct to the MDGs, two of which together with the gender goal place more prominence in our Post-2015DGs than within the MDGs (and High-Level Panel goals) on the holistic needs and rights specifically of the world's women, children and ageing populations.
