Bridging 2015 UN MDG

As per progress report on the Millennium Development Goals, the world is near to its target by 2015.  below is a chart published in The Economist showing progress of the world from 1990's to present, and eventually to its target year - 2015.


The graph showed progress among developing countries, but how about to those countries which belong to the less develop or even to those underdeveloped?  Presumably, as personally experienced, less develop nations have hard time achieving the Millennium Development Goals.  In the province alone, as per Goal No. 6, it could hardly be achieved by 2015 because instead of lesser cases of diseases, the province experience escalation of various diseases.  Dengue, for instance, instead of posting cases only during rainy seasons, the province and even the whole nation post it in a year-round cycle which is becoming alarming.

Should there be progress in the attainment of goals, it should be centered not with the developing nations, but rather, with the less development nations.
