ASEAN and Millennium Development Goals

ASEAN regional assessment of the MDG attainment and post-2015 development strategy for ASEAN (in collaboration with UNDP, 2015)

• Remarkable progress of ASEAN Member States in the last decade
• Attainment of most of the Goals is on track, with some uneven progress across the targets.
• In several instances, CLMV Countries have outpaced the ASEAN-6 Countries, signaling the narrowing of the development gap.
• The share of people living on less than US$ 1 per day in ASEAN: fallen from gone in twoh to gone in eighth persons over a decade.
• Progress in rebalancing economic growth towards a sustainable pattern remained a challenge.
