Abstract
At the Millennium summit held in New York in the year 2000, member countries of the United Nations decided upon eight development goals, with the intention of improving the living standards of developing nations.
The goals are :
Eradication of poverty and hunger,
Achievement of universal primary education,
Promote gender equality,
Empowerment of women,
Reduce child mortality,
. Improve maternal health,
Combat HIV/AIDS and Malaria,
Ensure environment sustainability and
Develop global partnership for development
They consist of 18 targets to be achieved by 2015 where the progress is to be assessed at regular intervals with 1990 considered as the base year.
Forty eight statistical indicators have been suggested to be used in the monitoring process. The Department of Census and Statistics as the Government authority on official statistics, has been entrusted with the task in preparing MDG indicators to show the progress with respect to the eighteen targets. This household survey was designed to collect information for 12 indicators for which data is not available from the regular surveys of the Department.
