Millennium Development Goals: Progress and prospects in Europe and Central Asia

Conventional wisdom suggests that countries of Eastern and Central Europe and Central Asia (ECA)
are well on target to meeting the global Millennium Development Goals approved at the
United Nations in September 2000.
Given the fast growing HIV/AIDS epidemic, along with deteriorating standards of education,
water and sanitation infrastructure, the story is in fact quite different.
This World Bank publication, released in September 2005, examines how countries in
the region are living up to the challenge of meeting 7 key indicators of development.
