Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Politics -
International Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 1,7, University of
Tubingen (Politikwissenschaftliches Institut), 50 entries in the
bibliography, language: English, abstract: The Millennium
Development goals (MDGs) were set in 2000 as an ambitious goal to
improve the situation in developing countries in fields such as
education, reducing poverty or improving the health situation for
the poor. Those goals shall be achieved until the year 2015, which
means that halve of the time between the settings of the goals and
the supposed reaching of those has passed. Thus it is time to ask
how successful the tries have been until now, and if it is still
realistic to achieve those goals. This paper will place special
emphasis on Africa and especially Sub-Sahara Africa. In this region
the smallest progress can be seen, and in certain areas no success
as all can be witnessed. The main question, which will be answered
in this paper, is therefore: "What are the problems that prevent
the countries in Sub-Sahara Africa to achieve the Millennium
Development goals?" In the first section of the paper the
Millennium Declaration, which was signed in September 2000, will be
introduced, and the growing international acceptation of those
goals will be mentioned. (Qureshi, 2004) After that the present
situation will be described. When all developing countries are seen
together, the data suggest that improvement has taken place and
that the implemented strategies have been at least partly
successful. But this is a very limited view, as there are different
categories of developing countries. The situation in the two
biggest countries of the world China and India has improved
significantly, and Asia in general has made some progress,
especially the regions East and South-East Asia show significant
improvement during the last years. The next section will analyse
the poor performance of African countries and why this is the case.
