Millennium Development

Goals
Nigeria & Cote dIvoire
By Stephanie Holcombe & Amber Wernli
Eradicate Poverty & Extreme Hunger

Goal 1
1.A: Half the proportion of people whose
income is less than $1.25 a day.

1.B: Achieve full and productive employment
and decent work for all, including women and
young people.

1.C: Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the
proportion of people who suffer from hunger.

Cote dIvoire
In 2010, the poverty
headcount, at a
national poverty line,
was 42.7% of the
population.
The national Bureau
of Statistics said
60.9% of Nigerians in
2010 were living in
absolute poverty -
this figure had risen
from 54.7% in 2004.
Nigeria
Cote dIvoire
The percentage has been
decreasing since the data
starts in 1985, but the likely-
hood that the target will be
reached by 2015 is very
slim.
The reduction rate in
Nigeria is doing a good job
in maintaining their poverty
levels. However, while
theyre improving, no
country is perfect and
Nigeria has an
overwhelming poverty rate.
Nigeria
Achieve Universal Primary Education

Goal 2
2.A: Ensure that, by 2015, children
everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to
complete a full course of primary schooling.

Cote dIvoire
Literacy Rate of
Males: 72.3%
Literacy Rate of
Females: 62.7%

Literacy Rate of
Males: 72.1%
Literacy Rate of
Females: 50.4%
Nigeria
Cote dIvoire
To fill the gap of 30%+ of
under literate people by
2015 is not likely. They
have a problem of not
having enough teachers or
school building which
affects this as well.
It is safe to assume that
with these low literacy rates
in the adults, that they are
low with the children as
well. Nigeria holds the
record with the least
amount of children in
school. Completion of the
goal is not likely.

Nigeria
Promote Gender Equality & Empowering
Women Primary Education

Goal 3
3.A: Eliminate gender disparity in primary and
secondary education, preferably by 2005, and
in all levels of education no later than 2015.
Cote dIvoire
Ranked 61 out of 86
in the 2012 Social
Institutions and
Gender Index.
Ranked 79 out of 86
in the 2012 Social
Institutions and
Gender Index.
Nigeria
Cote dIvoire
While not as bad as Nigeria, the
probability of this goal being
reached by 2015 is not likely.
Traditions hold firm and the
governments are still in need of
helping the women that need
their help.
Perhaps the reason for the low
numbers in working women is
because Nigeria holds traditional
values where women are to stay
at home and tend to the kids
while the men are to go out and
provide. Either way, the numbers
show that promoting gender
equality and empowering women
are not on their priority list. This
goal will probably not be fulfilled
by 2015.

Nigeria
Reduce child mortality rates

Goal 4
4.A: Reduce by two thirds, between 1990 and
2015, the under-five mortality rate.
Cote dIvoire
Children under 5
mortality rate in
Nigeria per 1,000 live
births is 100.
Children under 5
mortality rate in
Nigeria per 1,000 live
births is 117.4.

Nigeria
Cote dIvoire
In 1990 the mortality rate
was 151.6. It is now 100. To
reach the goal, it would
have to be 50 by 2015. At
the current rate, the goal
will not be achieved.
In 1990 the mortality rate
was 213. It is now 117. To
reach the goal, it would
have to be 71 by 2015. At
the current rate, the goal
will not be achieved.
Nigeria
Improve maternal health


Goal 5
5.A: Reduce by three quarters, between 1990
and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio.

5.B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access to
reproductive health.
Cote dIvoire
Per 100,000 live
births, the maternal
mortality rate in 2013
is 720. 1990 rate is
740.

Per 100,000 live
births, the maternal
mortality rate in 2013
is 560. 1990 rate is
1200.

Nigeria
Cote dIvoire
To reach the goal, the
maternal mortality ratio
would need to be
185/100,000. Since it only
decreased by 20 in the past
24 years, it wont be
reached by 2015.
To reach the goal, the
maternal mortality ratio
would need to be
300/100,000. It decreased a
lot in the past years and is
possible but not likely to
reach its goal. Nigeria
needs to develop medicine
and hospitals to decrease
this number.

Nigeria
Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria, and other
diseases.


Goal 6
6.A: Have halted by 2015 and begun to
reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS.

6.B: Achieve, by 2010, universal access to
treatment for HIV/AIDS for all those in need.

6.C: Have halted by 2015 and begun to
reverse the incidence of malaria and other
major diseases.

Cote dIvoire
Cote dIvoires
percentage of adults
ages 15-49 with
HIV/AIDS is 2.8%. In
1990 it was 1.8%.

Nigerias percentage
of adults ages 15-49
with HIV/AIDS is
2.8%. However, in
1990 it was .5%.

Nigeria
Cote dIvoire
With the percentage of
people with HIV/AIDS
slowly rising, it is apparent
that the goal to halt and
reverse HIV/AIDS will not
be met by 2015.
Nigeria has the second-
largest number of people
living with HIV. Again,
Nigeria needs help in the
sanitation of their nation if
they want to help this
problem. The goal will not
be met.

Nigeria
Ensure environmental sustainability


Goal 7
7.A: Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country
policies and programs and reverse the loss of environmental
resources.

7.B: Reduce biodiversity loss, achieving, by 2010, a significant rate of
reduction in loss.

7.C: Halve, by 2015, the proportion of the population with out
sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.

7.D: Achieve, by 2020, a significant improvement in the lives of at least
100 million slum dwellers.
Cote dIvoire
Slum Dwellers:
1990 53.4%
2009 57%

Improved Sanitation:
1990 15%
2012 22%




Slum Dwellers:
1990 77.3%
2009 62.7%

Improved Sanitation
1990 37%
2012 28%

Nigeria
Cote dIvoire
Here we see an increase in
the amount of slum
dwellers. But, we also see
that the amount of people
using improved sanitation
facilities has increased by
7%. This, however, is not
enough to meet the goal by
2015.
Nigeria has seen a
decrease in the amount of
people living in the slums.
While not very significant, it
is a good improvement. The
amount of people using
improved sanitation
facilities has decreased.
The goal has seen both
improvement and a step
back.
Nigeria
Develop a global partnership for
development


Goal 8
8.A: Develop further an open, rule-based, predictable, non-discriminatory
trading and financial system.

8.B: Address the special needs of least developed countries.

8.C: Address the special needs of landlocked developing countries and small
island developing States.

8.D: Deal comprehensively with the debt problems of developing countries.

8.E: In cooperation with pharmaceutical companies, provide access to
affordable essential drugs in developing countries.

8.F: In cooperation with the private sector, make available benefits of new
technology, especially information and communications.
Cote dIvoire
Debt service as a
percentage of export of
goods, services, and
net income:
1990 19.1%
2012 1.9%



Debt service as a
percentage of export of
goods, services, and
net income:
1990 22.3%
2012 - .3%
Nigeria
Cote dIvoire
They used to be paying
19.1% interest on their
debt, now they only pay
1.9% interest. This is a
great improvement because
it means their debt has
gone down, and that they
are participating with other
countries in distributing
goods.
These numbers show that
Nigeria is doing pretty well
with this goal. They give
and take almost equally.
With more resources to
grow they are able to export
things like petroleum,
rubber and cocoa beans.
