I just came across an article on BBC News that discusses the Millennium Development Goals and the progress being made.

Apparently, many countries are doing well in terms of achieving the majority of the goals by 2015. However, many are falling short in the health and education aspects of things.

Sounds interesting. I knew from past experience that it was rather optimistic to try to reach these goals by 2015. I would be really interested in finding more information about what specifically is making these goals so hard to reach. What are the obstacles these nations are facing, and how can they be alleviated?
