The Ugandan government, along with the United Nations Development Program, has released the latest score card that rates on and reports how Ugandan is achieving the Millinery Development Goals. Essentially, Uganda is doing well and keeping pace with all goals save for the health goals of reducing child and mother deaths. The government and President Museveni have recognized this failure and during the General Assembly in September, the president admitted that Uganda may be unable to meet the health goal by 2015.
A new plan has been implement by the government called the National Millennium Development Goal Acceleration Framework. It reinforces common sense by calling for effective family planning, emergency care, and experienced workers at the time of birth. Yet another area that Uganda needs to work on is the education of the youth. The report reveals that although there is an increase in student enrollment, there is not a corresponding increase in the completion rate, rather the failure to complete is what is effecting the report.
