Challenges for Bangladesh
Bangladesh received an UN award for its remarkable achievement in reducing child mortality rate. According to the statistics of UNICEF, child mortality rate of Bangladesh was 151 per thousand in 1990, whereas in 2010 this rate is only 54. But Bangladesh could not achieve remarkable success in all the targets. Experts say Bangladesh faces climatic hazards due to global warming, which are obstructing our way to achieve the targets of MDGs . According to the reports published in the dailies, Bangladesh needs $ 30 billion to meet the upcoming challenges of climate change. However, it is good news for Bangladesh that rich countries have agreed to allocate funds for the most vulnerable countries.
We expect that Bangladesh would be able to achieve the targets of MDGs by 2015, with the assistance from the UN and the international communities.
