hunger, illiteracy, infant and maternal mortality, and pledged to create strategies for better gender equality, a cleaner environment and health for all.

This year, the Asia-Pacific MDG Report prepared by UNESCAP, the Asian Development Bank and UNDP is also being launched in tandem. The regional report takes a more detailed look at the MDG achievements of the

Asia-Pacific countries and a regional perspective on the post-2015 development agenda and reflects on the lessons from experiences with MDGs on means of implementation for SDGs.
