In some developing countries telephone density was as low as 0.1 per cent, while in some developed countries it reached 60 per cent.

The report also notes that the contraceptive prevalence rate is very low (8 per cent).

In the last decade, global Internet penetration rate has risen from 21.7 to 48.8 . In developing countries, the growth rate of the Internet penetration rate is double that of developed countries.

In sub Saharan Africa, sanitation coverage increased by only 4 per cent between 1990 and 2002, and in nine countries, rural sanitation coverage is less than 10 per cent.

(a) Comprehensive package in 60 countries with high child mortality and low WASH coverage

Although this service is provided, it is not very popularly utilized.

Rate of penetration and absolute levels of use of new end use technologies

Coverage of over 80 per cent of all children under five years old was attained.

Normal Rate

Through free and universal education and health care, Cuba had achieved high levels of school attendance and a low rate of child mortality.

The current contraceptive prevalence rate was 42.3 per cent, also indicating an improvement.

Bitrate Nominal

The prevalence rate of contraception use in 1987 was 48 percent, increasing to 57 percent in 1997, and 60.3 percent in 2003.

Increasing access, participation and completion of universal primary education in Eritrea

A joint plan was developed with special focus on two districts with low coverage.

Since its inception in the 1970s, the programme has made slow and modest gains in terms of declines in the population growth rate and the total fertility rate and an increase in the family planning prevalence rate.

The gains made in water supply coverage are increasingly threatened.

(c) Strategic result 3 large scale acceleration of effective coverage of interventions.

She also expressed concern that despite the high literacy rate, the fertility rate, at 4.3, remained high and the contraceptive prevalence rate, 33 per cent in 1999, was low.

Coverage rates, content and strategies for reaching families vary widely.

For example, more progress has been made in reducing infant and maternal mortality (reductions of nearly 50 per cent) than in achieving universal primary education.

The gap in penetration rates for PCs is shown in figure A.3 (appendix 2) for countries in the developed and the developing world.

Of particular concern are the relatively high rates of teenage pregnancy and maternal mortality, which reflect a lack of access to health information and basic health services.

In addition, awareness raising, education, and extension services for farmers are important for improving overall water use efficiency and productivity.

The 2006 report will update coverage estimates to 2004 as a baseline for the Water for Life Decade.

Among factors contributing to their reduction are the provision of free antenatal and postnatal care, improved immunization coverage (now 90 per cent) for infants and health education for schoolgirls and mothers.

The rest of us, we're only 54 percent accurate.

The current database provides country, global and regional coverage estimates, disaggregated by service type and by urban and rural areas, for 1990 and 2002.

The gap in the accessibility of the basic telephone infrastructure has been recognized for many years by high level representatives of governments and industrial communities.

If the current annual growth rate of 0.5 per cent is maintained, we will achieve universal primary education by 2015.

The basic finding is that the contraceptive prevalence rate is lower among rural women compared to urban women.

Efforts were being made to make family planning services available, but contraceptive prevalence was still very low.

Consequently, poverty alleviation and increasing food production and access to potable water supply systems emerged as important development priority areas.

The maternal mortality rate has remained generally low.

In addition to coverage disparities between countries and regions, there are significant inequities within countries clear rural urban disparities as well as coverage and service level disparities between richer and poorer households.

High vacancy rates, recruitment freezes and delays and the general lack of resources affected several programmes.

The GSP rate is half of the MFN rates and subject to tariff quotas.

However, immunization coverage, universal salt iodization, safe water supply and environmental sanitation remain challenges.

The halt or fall in production has led to widespread unemployment, with all its attendant negative effects on the whole of society.

Effective coverage of interventions supporting Goals 4 and 5 is accelerated in countries and regions with high maternal and child mortality rates, with a particular focus on emergency situations.

The National Report on Education for all (EFA), 2000, reported that the mean teacher student ratio in primary schools was 1 23 and in secondary schools was 1 12.

Increased coverage in sustainable services cannot be obtained simply by drilling more boreholes or even by training more community management groups.

With respect to immunization, the national coverage was maintained well above the target level of 90 per cent for under ones for the five antigens.
