Chapter 1, Taking stock of updated MDG status and trends, present the MDG progress in the Asia-Pacific region using the "traffic lights" method demonstrating the slow progress, off-track, on-track and early achiever MDG targets, highlighting the progress and challenges among countries in the region. The analysis will lead to the theme of the present report - concerns regarding inadequate progress on health - related MDG targeted. Part one of Chapter 2, Disparities in health-related MDG achievements, between and within countries. Average achievements mask disparities, will contain an analysis of health - nutrition related disparities between country in levels and trends. Part two will cover within country disparities. Detailed analysis on priority issues of health, nutrition, water and sanitation will be presented highlighting disparities - inequalities between countries as well as within countries. Chapter 3, Analysis of policy approaches, will bring together the current state of play on how health related MDG targets are being addressed by countries in the region. Focus would also be on policy successes (and failures). Ground level evidence from the Asia-Pacific region, including good practices at the sub-national levels will be analysed and highlighted for possible scale up and replication. Inputs from among UN and technical partner agencies were sought. Chapter 4, Conclusions and way forward, summarises the main issues and recommendations for more equal MDG outcomes in the run up to 2015.
