This report presents data on how countries are closing in on the MDG targets, going beyond standard global and country-level assessments to provide insights into how these gains are being shared across income, rural-urban and gender groups. It unpacks the targets and indicators to map out how the development process is playing out across countries and continents. It identifies 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.
