Abstract:
Background: The Maternal mortality rate in Pakistan remains unacceptably high Objectives: To study the awareness ofimmunization and breast feeding and the utilization of family-planning methods by the women of rural districts of Punjab, Pakistan. StudyDesign: A Cross-sectional study. Setting: The study was conducted in Vehari and Chakwal districts of Punjab, Pakistan. Period: May-July2010. Methodology: A total of 100 women were included in the study. Data was collected, cleaned, tabulated and analyzed. Results: Amongthe hundred sampled women 58 (58%) were educated, and the commonly involved age group in the sample was 21-30 year accounting for59% of the women. Among these 61% of the women have visited a family planning center, while the contraceptive prevalence rate (CRP) IS39%. Thirty eight (54%) out of the 70 multi-parous women have given birth with an interval of approximately 2 years. Only 6 (8.75%) have anoptimum (safe) interval of 3 years. Among the total 90 child bearing women 74(82.22%) have got vaccinated their children, 46 (62.16%) ofthese are completely vaccinated according to the information obtained from the EPI vaccination cards. Among the 13(17.56%) who haven’tvaccinated their children 10 (62.5%) complained of lack of awareness regarding the importance of vaccination. Five (31.25%) complained ofinaccessibility to the BHU. Out of the 90 interviewed women 61 (67.7%) were vaccinated with tetanus toxiod during pregnancy. 82 (82%)women are aware of the benefits of breast feeding. 88(97.7%) out of total 90 child bearing women have breast fed their children with thepercentage decreasing to 83.33% after 6-11 months of age and only 39(43.33%) counting breast till 1.5-2year (optimum age) of age.53(58.88%) started weaning their child between 6-11 months of age. Direct causes of Neonatal Deaths were, 30% birth asphyxia and injuries,35% due to infections (tetanus, sepsis , pneumonia, diarrhea), 20% due to complication of pre-maturity, 5% congenital anomalies and 20% dueto other causes. Conclusions: There’s a need for mass education regarding EPI and it’s compliance so that the target set under MDGs isachieved. Though women of the rural areas are aware of the advantages of breast feeding there is a lot of variation in the duration that thechildren are breast fed and weaned, so there is a need for the provision of standardized nutritional to the mothers by the health workers.

Abstract:
This research looks at social policy making in Venezuela and Brazil with the objective of alleviating poverty, with special focus on meeting Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that were set in 2000. Considering the leftist democratic governments that have been established in Latin America since Hugo Chávez was elected president in 1998, and later with Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in 2002, the research seeks to understand and illustrate what nuances exist in strategy, ideas and implementation of social policy that would positively affect the underprivileged for a more equal and just society. The two countries have deep historical and structural inequalities from slavery, colonialism, imbalanced distribution of resources and like most developing nations of the Global South, have had to endure structural adjustments that have entrenched poverty levels further. Arguments in the past have been made for economic prosperity and economic growth as good indicators for development, however, the research takes a comparative analysis on how Venezuela (through Barrio Adentro and multiple state driven Missions) and Brazil (state supported Bolsa Familia and Universal Health System), have targeted health and education as the primary sectors not just to transform society but also because it is through these sectors that the most effective and efficient manner to measure human development which has thus far been neglected. The research also examines the leadership of the countries which speaks to the differing approaches adopted, style, rhetoric and political realities; and how they have been received not just domestically, but also internationally. The outcomes of the research illustrate a good link between literacy, education and health and a healthy level of state intervention that requires reciprocal social participation for programmes to succeed. Brazil and Venezuela have shown notable creativity and effectiveness in this regard.

Abstract:
The World Health Organization (WHO) found that 6.6 million children under five died in 2012 (WHO 2013). Almost half of all of these child deaths take place in the first month of life, and 75% of all under five deaths occur within the child's first year of life (WHO 2013). The aim of this study is to compare the most influential factors that decrease infant and neonatal mortality in order to find where policy makers, governments, and international organizations need to focus their efforts in order to get all countries on track for Millennium Development Goal 4 to reduce child mortality. Mosley and Chen (1984) suggest that infant mortality should be studied more as a process with multifactorial origins opposed to an acute, single phenomenon. To study the multifaceted nature of infant mortality they suggest grouping select variables into broad categories. This paper uses this model to test the contribution of the following four types of factors: 1) healthcare system 2) social determinants 3) reproductive behavior and 4) national context in order to understand which category impacts infant mortality most significantly. This study utilizes the Demographic and Health Surveys and was estimated using a discrete time hazard model. Results suggest that social determinants reduce infant mortality most significantly over the other three factors and that maternal education is the key to reaching Millennium Development Goal 4. This research suggests that healthcare interventions, although important, are not a substitute for mother's education. The combination of prenatal care and maternal education will ensure the safest first year for a child.

Abstract:
The world has made important efforts to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) by 2015. However, it is still insufficient and inequalities prevail in the poorest settings. We tracked selected MDG, barriers for their achievement, and community actions that help to accelerate the pace of their accomplishment in two Nicaraguan communities (León and Cuatro Santos). In the first two studies we track the progress of MDG4 (reduce child mortality) using the under-five mortality rate. Inequalities in mortality were mainly assessed by means of maternal education, but other social stratifications were performed on rural-urban residence and sub-regional comparisons between both communities. The last two studies describe community interventions in Cuatro Santos and their association with progress toward MDG1 (poverty reduction). Participation in interventions and poverty were visualized geographically in this remote rural community between 2004 and 2009. Other selected MDG targets were also tracked. These communities will possibly meet MDG4 even before 2015. In León, MDG progress has been accompanied by a decline in child mortality. Despite social inequalities with regard to mortality persisting in education and places of residence, these have decreased. However, it is crucial to reduce neonatal mortality if MDG4 is to be achieved. For example, in León the percentage of under-five deaths in the neonatal period has doubled from 1970 to 2005. In the remote rural area of Cuatro Santos, progress has been accelerated and no child mortality differences were observed despite the level of a mother’s education. Cuatro Santos has also progressed in the reduction of poverty and extreme poverty. The participation of the population in such community interventions as microcredit, home gardening, technical training, safe drinking water, and latrines has increased. Microcredit was an intervention that was unequally distributed in this rural area, where participation was lower in poor and extremely poor households than in non-poor households. In those households that transitioned from poor to non-poor status, microcredit, home gardening, and technical training were associated with this transition. Furthermore spatial analysis revealed that clusters of low participation in interventions overlapped with clusters of high poverty households.

Abstract:
This article analyses the status of education as a fundamental right. The recenteconomic crisis and associated austerity policies have worsened the situation and,rather than diminish, educational inequalities have in fact increased. Firstly, thesignificance of education as a Human Right is examined. Secondly, the extentto which the MDGs have been met is reviewed, particularly with regard toeducation, where, as detailed in various reports produced by NGOs and by theUnited Nations, certain difficulties have impeded their being met. The Right toEducation is examined in a projective way as a right that should not be limitedto the vision contained in the new Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.It is necessary to go still further and advance towards a true democratisation ofeducation.
En este artículo se analiza la educación como derecho humano fundamental. Ellegado del siglo veinte muestra avances pero las crisis económicas y las políticasde ajuste adoptadas han agravado las desigualdades educativas. En este contextolos Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio proyectados para el 2015 han quedadolimitados. Primero se significa la educación como derecho humano. En segundolugar se hace balance de los objetivos y se exponen sus impactos en la educacióncontrastados con informes de organizaciones que evidencian problemáticas quehan dificultado su alcance. Se expone una mirada proyectiva del derecho a laeducación que no puede quedar encorsetado en la formulación de los nuevosObjetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible 2030. Habrá que ir más allá y avanzar en laverdadera democratización educativa.

Abstract:
Inspired by the precedence of eradicating worldwide poverty and the unresolved discussion how to solve this problem, this paper attempts to illustrate how microfinance by the Grameen Bank can alleviate poverty beyond the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). These goals are arguably limited by the use of poverty lines and may not reflect the true level of poverty beyond quantifications. Microfinance has become a top choice for bottom-up poverty alleviation despite mixed effects over past decades. In this regard, this study seeks to explore how microfinance as a bottom-up approach to development can widen and enhance social opportunities beyond quantifications and the MDG for poor people. Guided by an explorative case study design qualitative interviews with Grameen Bank staff and borrowers were conducted in rural villages in the divisions of Tangail and Manikganj in the surrounding areas of Dhaka. Three primary stakeholders were identified for further empirical enquiry: (1) poor people and households, (2) children and students, and (3) extremely poor people or beggars. The research revealed that microfinance can alleviate poverty and enhance economic as well as social opportunities for poor people to a certain extent. In terms of economic opportunity enhancement microfinance can lead to stimulation of business sectors and village economy, increased purchasing power and general access to financial services otherwise inaccessible for poor people. With regards to social opportunities, microfinance may lead to increased choice to pursue what one desires, women empowerment, instrumental value, change in living conditions, decreased availability of household workers, increased opportunities for beggars and access to healthcare. However, the level of effectiveness of poverty intervention and opportunity enhancement varies among the groups of people explored: (1) poor people and households and (2) children and students can enhance their opportunities relatively more effectively compared to (3) extremely poor people or beggars.

The current emphasis in the microfinance industry is a shift from donor-funded to commercially sustainable operations. This article evaluates the impact of access to microloans from the Khushhali Bank - Pakistan's first and largest microfinance bank which operates on commercial principles. Using primary data from a detailed household survey of nearly 3000 borrower and non-borrower households, a difference in difference approach is used to test for the impact of access to loans. Once the results are disaggregated between rural and urban areas there is a positive impact in rural areas on food expenditure and on some social indicators.

Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to study the impact of aid on human development. This impact in turn indicates whether this aid is on course to help developing nations achieve their respective Millennium Development Goals by the target date of 2015. Using time series data on 136 aid recipient countries from 2000-2010 and infant mortality, illiteracy and poverty as measures of human development, this paper assesses the direct effect of foreign aid on these three developmental indices. The empirical findings of this study yield inconclusive results much like many prior research studies on the effectiveness of foreign aid. This paper also develops a quality measure of aid; however this variable also shows inconclusive results. This study reinforces that the quality and knowledge aspects of the aid flowing to developing countries are as important as the monetary aspect of this aid.

Abstract:
In 2000, the United Nations (UN) hosted a world summit to set their major goals and objectives. This summit produced the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a set of eight goals that addressed key social problems in the world. The UN has recognized the potential of sport and physical activity as a way to achieve the UN MDGs. Empirical evidence has shown that sport is a powerful tool that can promote life skills in youth athletes and that the coach plays a key role in youths' personal and social development in sport. To date, research has not examined the benefits of sport under the framework of the UN goals, nor has research created activities to achieve these goals. Thus, the purpose of the study was to assess coaches' thoughts and perceptions of activities that were created to address three UN MDGs (health, education, and empowering women). Six youth soccer and basketball coaches participated in this study. Coaches were required to participate in a workshop designed to teach them the UN MDGs and the principles of positive youth development (PYD). During the workshop four activities were created in a collaborative effort between the participating youth coaches and the McGill research team. These activities were delivered by the coaches to their athletes throughout the season. Data was collected using four qualitative methods: pre and post-intervention forms, interviews, research assistant field notes, and a reflective journal kept by the research coordinator. Data revealed that coaches perceived the project as successful and the activities were seen as beneficial for athletes and for the team. In particular, the coaches believed the activities improved the athletes' awareness of the importance of health, education, and empowering women. The coaches also believed the activities increased team cohesion and communication skills among their players, and between coaches and players. Finally, observations suggested increased indicators of PYD among youth players. In sum, the results of the present study demonstrated that coaches can be educated in the principles of PYD and the UN goals to develop activities that fostered life skills development of their athletes through sport.
En 2000, l'Organisation internationale des Nations Unies (ONU) fut l'hôte d'un sommet international afin de fixer leurs principaux buts et objectifs. De ce sommet sont nés les objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement (OMD), un ensemble de huit objectifs qui abordent des problèmes sociaux importants dans le monde. Les Nations Unies ont reconnu les possibilités du sport et de l'activité physique en tant qu'OMD de l'ONU. Les évidences empiriques ont démontré d'une part que le sport est un outil puissant qui peut encourager le développement d'habiletés de vie chez les jeunes athlètes et d'autre part que les entraîneurs jouent un rôle important dans le développement personnel et social des jeunes dans le domaine du sport. Jusqu'à maintenant les recherches ne se sont pas penchées sur les avantages du sport en fonction du cadre des objectifs de l'ONU de plus les recherches n'ont pas créé d'activités pour atteindre ces buts. Par conséquent, l'objectif de cette étude était d'analyser les pensées des entraîneurs et leurs perceptions d'activités qui ont été créées spécifiquement pour se pencher sur trois des ODM de l'ONU (santé, éducation et l'autonomisation des femmes). Six entraîneurs de soccer et de basketball pour les jeunes ont contribué à cette étude. On leur a demandé de participer à un atelier conçu pour leur enseigner les ODM de l'ONU ainsi que les principes de l'intervention positive youth development (PYD). Au cours de l'atelier, quatre activités ont été crée grâce aux efforts communs des entraîneurs pour les jeunes et de l'équipe de recherche de McGill. Tout au long de la saison, ces activités ont été déployées par les entraîneurs à leurs athlètes. Les données ont été recueillies grâce à quatre méthodes qualitatives: des questionnaires avant après, des entrevues, des notes de recherches et un journal de réflexions tenu par les coordonnateurs de recherche. Les données ont démontré que les entraîneurs ont perçu que le projet fut un succès et que les athlètes ont tiré des avantages des activités. Selon les entraîneurs les activités ont permis une meilleure prise de conscience chez les athlètes de l'importance de la santé, de l'éducation et de l'autonomisation des femmes. Les entraîneurs croient aussi que les activités ont amélioré le travail d'équipe et les aptitudes à communiquer des participants. Finalement, leurs observations suggèrent une augmentation des indicateurs des principes de PYD chez les jeunes joueurs. En résumé, les résultats de cette étude ont démontré que les entraîneurs peuvent recevoir une formation selon les principes de PYD et des objectifs de l'ONU afin de concevoir par le sport des activités qui favorisent le développement d'habiletés de vie chez les athlètes.

Abstract:
As a definition; poverty is a situation that people’s basic needs are not being met to sustain their life which is many countries facing today. In recent years, fighting against poverty has become one of the most important issues in the world. One of the steps taken by the United Nations to fight against poverty is Millennium Development Goals. In 2000, a millennium development meeting took place with many countries’ participation in New York. During the meeting, many goals were set such as eliminating poverty and famine, decreasing child death, providing primary education for all and dealing with epidemic diseases. In this study, progress level of The Millennium Development Goals, the steps which have taken and their effects were examined in Turkey. Data was collected from UNDP and TSI (Turkish Statistical Institute). The millennium development goals globally have been reached at a certain level between 1990 and 2015. Today, primary school accessibility level is around 90% in developing countries. Even though poverty was reduced by half, there are still 1,2 billion people who live in extreme poverty. In Turkey, there have been promising developments towards Millennium Development Goals. While level of people who live under extreme poverty line (1$ per day) was 0,2% in 2002, this rate was decreased to 0% by 2006. The poverty rate (below 4,3 $ per capita per day) in 2014 was 1,62%, and primary school enrollment rate was 99%. In addition to this, mother and children death rate was largely decreased.

Abstract:
Inequality and discrimination according to gender have been debated for decades, gender equality is among the Millennium Development Goals, proposed by the UN. Numerous barriers are still faced in the academic and work world, with regard to the participation of women in science and technology. The Girls High-Tech project was created in line with the “Digital Girls” program, proposed by the Brazilian Computer Society, working within the scope of the IFRS Happy Campus and schools located in the region. The main objective of the project is to promote reflections and actions on female participation in the area of Information Technology (IT), seeking to encourage the performance of girls in this area and problematizing gender inequalities.

Abstract:
[The final form of this paper was published in the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology.] One of the key attempts towards a collective African vision is the New Economic Partnership for African Development (NEPAD). Barnard and Vonk (2003) report that “53 countries have been urged to implement ICTs in three crucial development arenas: education, health and trade”. While NEPAD and other initiatives have contributed to the provision of ICT infrastructure with positive results as seen in the growth of Internet uses, the disparities in development across Africa are enormous. The challenge to HEIs in Africa, has been summarised by Colle (2005): “central to creating digital resources and academic infrastructure is the question of universities' relevance to the world around them, and especially to the challenge of being an active player – ‘an anchor of a broad-based poverty alleviation strategy’ in an increasingly knowledge-based economy”. It can be inferred from Colle that the activities of HEIs in Africa ought to be geared towards contributing to the realisation of the Millennium development goals. In 2003, the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) adopted a declaration of principles aimed at enabling everyone to create access, utilise and share information and knowledge. In this declaration, member states affirmed their commitment to aggressive investment in ICT for social and economic development (Ngwenyama et al 2006).

Abstract:
Energy infrastructure in rural areas of developing countries is currently deployed on an ad-hoc basis via grid extension, public and private sector solar home system (SHS) service using photovoltaic (PV) panels, and community distributed generation systems, also called mini or micro grids. Universal access to energy is increasingly pursued as a policy objective via e.g. the U.N. Millennium Develop Goals (MDG), Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All), and U.S. Power Africa initiatives. Rational allocation of energy infrastructure for 1.6b people currently lacking access requires a screening process to determine the economic break-even distance and consumer connection density favoring topologically diverse energy technology approaches. Previous efforts have developed approaches to determine grid-connection break-even distances, but work on micro-grid and SHS break-even distance and density is limited. The present work develops an open access modeling platform with the ability to simulate various configurations of PV, Concentrating Solar Power (CSP), and fueled generator backup systems with exhaust waste heat recovery. Battery and thermal storage options are examined, and typical meteorological year (TMY) data is combined with probabilistic and empirical load curve data to represent the appropriate physical dynamics. Power flow control strategy and infrastructure is optimized for a minimum tariff (USD/kWh) for cost recovery. Cost functions derived from manufacturers’ data enable performance and economic assessment for a case study micro grid in Lesotho.

Abstract:
Population is an important factor in development of a country. As a constraint, not only the size of the population is important but also its quality in the development process. Women’s health is considered all over the world and the data about this aspect is published by the World Health Organization annually. Among others maternal mortality rate is one of the major problems affecting women’s health and population. Everyday 830 women die due to the problems related to pregnancy and childbirth in the world. While this number is relatively lower in the developed countries, it is higher in the underdeveloped and developing countries. In addition, the maternal mortality rate in the Caucasus and Central Asia ranks in the worst third in the world. In the Kyrgyz Republic, this rate is 82.083333 per 10000 live births which is the worst in the region. Therefore, it is among one of the countries where the maternal mortality should be reduced in the framework of the Millennium Development Goals. In this study, the determinants of maternal mortality rate are analyzed in the Kyrgyz Republic regions during 2000-2015 by using static panel data methods fixed effects and random effects. The findings show that there are significant decreasing effects of GDP, number of assistant physicians, births by skilled staff, improved sanitation facilities, and gender wage equality, there are significant increasing effects of health expenditures, medical facilities, and poverty among women on the maternal mortality.
