Taking Bolivia as an example, I can see that some indicators are changing in the right direction, but others are not. For instance, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indexmundi.com\/bolivia\/population-below-1-usd-(ppp)-per-day-consumption,-percentage.html\">percentage of the population who consume less than one US dollar<\/a> (purchasing power parity), changed from 20.4% to 14.4% between 1997 and 1999, a clear improvement. However, between 1999 and 2002 the percentage increased from 14.2% to 23.2%, a marked worsening. I&#8217;m assuming that the 1991 number (5.7%) is incorrect since it&#8217;s so much lower than subsequent measurements. If it were correct, it would mean that the 1990s was a completely lost decade.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m working on making it easier to keep track of these types of changes. I&#8217;ll probably add a scorecard-type of interface that will display all indicators graphically.<\/p>\n<p><span class='st_facebook' st_title='Is your country going to meet its millennium development goals?' st_url='https:\/\/www.indexmundi.com\/blog\/index.php\/2007\/02\/26\/is-your-country-going-to-meet-its-millennium-development-goals\/' displayText='facebook'><\/span><span st_via='indexmundi' st_username='indexmundi' class='st_twitter' st_title='Is your country going to meet its millennium development goals?' st_url='https:\/\/www.indexmundi.com\/blog\/index.php\/2007\/02\/26\/is-your-country-going-to-meet-its-millennium-development-goals\/' displayText='twitter'><\/span><span class='st_email' st_title='Is your country going to meet its millennium development goals?' st_url='https:\/\/www.indexmundi.com\/blog\/index.php\/2007\/02\/26\/is-your-country-going-to-meet-its-millennium-development-goals\/' displayText='email'><\/span><span class='st_sharethis' st_title='Is your country going to meet its millennium development goals?' st_url='https:\/\/www.indexmundi.com\/blog\/index.php\/2007\/02\/26\/is-your-country-going-to-meet-its-millennium-development-goals\/' displayText='sharethis'><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that the millennium development goals section is available, I can check whether any given country is likely to meet its goals.
