This first Millennium Development Goal Report for Bhutan is intended to evaluate the progress made from the base year of 1990 towards the attainment of the Goals in 2015. While it identifies critical challenges and priority areas where our efforts need to be substantially increased, it also highlights particular areas in which first successes are perceptible. The Report further seeks to raise awareness about the goals of human and social development and build broad based support for action at all levels for their attainment.
