2. INTRODUCTION
The UN global conferences of the 1990s drew up a
number of different key global Development goals and
targets to focus equalize and harmonize the needs and
status of the people all over the world.
These goals and targets were known as the International
Development targets. Again in 2000, the representatives
of 189 nations, including 147 heads of state and
Government adopted the Millennium Declaration during
the Millennium Development Summit (September 6-8,
2000) of the United Nations.
3. The Millennium Declaration focused on peace, security and
development to all people. The representatives made specific
commitment seven area viz.
1. Pease, security and disarmament
2. Development and poverty eradication
3. Protection our common environment
4. Human right, democracy and good governance
5. Protecting the vulnerable
6. Meeting the special needs of Africa
7. Strengthening the United Nations
4. The international development targets and the
development goals were merged together and renamed as
the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
2. Achieve universal primary education
3. Promote gender equality and empower women
4. Reduce child mortality
5. Improve maternal health
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
7. Ensure environmental sustainability
8. Develop a global partnership for development.
5. 5
The goal and targets to be reached by 2015 in each of
seven areas are so called the MDGs.
MDGs place health at the heart of development.
3 of 8 goals are directly related to health; 8 of 18
targets are directly related to health; 18 of 48
indicators of the progress are health related.

Knowledge of at least one programmatic method of
preventing HIV transmission increased from 37.6%
(DHS 2001) to 75% for women and 50.8% (DHS
2001) to 85% for men.
Given the CPR estimated from the HMIS and
NDHS, achieving NHSP‐IP goal of 67 percent by
2015 from the current level demands innovative
approaches and appropriate strategies.
However, there has been decline in Total Fertility
Rate (TFR) from 3.1 in 2006 to 2.6 in 2011 (NDHS
2011) and is expected to meet the NHSP‐IP target of
2.5 by 2015.

20. The contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) for
modern family planning method is 44 percent, it
is comparable with 2011 NDHS (43%).
Central development region reported the highest
level of CPR(51%) and western development
region reported the lowest (32%).
Contraceptive prevalence rate (%) is 24 in 1990
and 45 in 2010. this shows that just nearer to
double % CPR is increased.(1)

Contraceptive Prevalence Rate increased from
39% (DHS 2001) to 43% in 2006 and 47% by
2009.(2)

National Free Health Program: to increase
access to and utilization of quality essential
health services by ensuring availability of
essential drugs In both urban and rural health
facilities throughout the year.
Social health protection – to achieve universal
coverage of essential health services by
developing a more comprehensive approach
(structure or system) with the aim of protecting
the population against the financial risks of
expensive health care.

Urban and Environmental Health – To provide
quality essential health care services to the
municipality population at accessible delivery
points through urban Health clinic in partnership
with MoLD ; To promote environmental health
especially hygiene and sanitation amongst
population in conjunction with other essential
health care services for improved hygiene
practices in partnership with related agencies

30. Conclusion
30
Nepal has made marked progress in some social indicators
leading to the attainment of some MDGs by 2015. But the
progress has halted in the recent years. The country faces
added difficulty in achieving MDGs in the current political
scenario- weak resource base, violence, conflict and weak
governance.
The conflict affect towards achieving MDGs for a number
of reasons including the risk of domestic resource crowd
out, ineffectiveness of service delivery, prolonged absence
of elected representatives at the local bodies, and setbacks
in social mobilization and community participation.

MDGs are reinforcing to each other and the
attainment of one goal would help the
attainment of others.
MDGs can be achieved only through a
strategic partnership among government, local
bodies, NGOs, CBOs, and donors, strategic
partnership in project formulation, execution,
coordination of development activities, donor
harmonization, and participatory monitoring
and evaluation system are highly essential.
