It identi?es the ‘star’ performers that have made the greatest gains, shines a light on unexpected outcomes from the pursuit of the MDG targets and sounds out warnings where progress has stalled or is heading in the wrong direction.

Population, Migration and Development in Asia, with Special Emphasis on The South Pacific: The Impact Of Migration on Population and the Millennium Development Goals
This paper will mostly consider the situation in Pacific island countries and major migration countries in South, East and South-East Asia, including China and India. While the relationship between population, migration and MDGs is difficult to assess in large and interdependent Asian countries, linkages appear more clearly in small Pacific countries where the impact of migration is much more important. Although lessons learnt form the Pacific may not be replicable in larger economies, it contributes to improving our knowledge of the effects of migration on population and MDGs.

Threats to Global Health and Opportunities for Change: A New Global Health
ABSTRACT
The most recent phase of internationalization and globalization is characterized by the growing infl uence of non-governmental organizations that have had an impact on health. Key threats of strategic relevance for health, in addition to global warming, are the global divides in terms of demographic development and the burden of disease, social inequity, migration of populations, migration of health professionals, the inequitable terms of trade, and the consequences of the recent global monetary crisis. This paper addresses opportunities as set forth in the Millennium Development Goals, a revival of primary health care, and the necessary resetting of global aid in terms of international donor harmonization and national coordination, e.g., through a Sector Wide Approach (SWAp).
We recommend:
(1) A Global Code of Conduct for non-governmental organizations;
(2) A renewed major effort of the United Nations community to achieve the Millennium Development Goals as planned;
(3) Further development of the concept of SWAp’s to put the receiving governments into the “driver’s seat”. To this end, the achievement of the Paris/Accra criteria is essential, i.e.,
(4) To strengthen the linkage between governments and donors with a priority for primary health care services; and
(5) To compensate the “sending” countries for basic investments in the upbringing and education of migrating professionals.

Trends in mild, moderate, and severe stunting and underweight, and progress towards MDG 1 in 141 developing countries
A systematic analysis of population representative data. Macroeconomic shocks, structural adjustment, and trade policy reforms in the 1980s and 1990s might have been responsible for worsening child nutritional status in sub-Saharan Africa. Further progress in the improvement of children's growth and nutrition needs equitable economic growth and investment in pro-poor food and primary care programmes, especially relevant in the context of the global economic crisis.
