|
Some of the indicators listed below are monitored
separately for the least developed countries (LDCs), Africa,
landlocked countries and small island developing States.
Official development assistance

untied
36. ODA received in landlocked countries as proportion of their
GNIs
37. ODA received in small island developing States as
proportion of their GNIs
Market access
38. Proportion of total developed country imports (by value and
excluding arms) from developing countries and LDCs,
admitted free of duties
39. Average tariffs imposed by developed countries on
agricultural products and textiles and clothing from
developing countries
40. Agricultural support estimate for OECD countries as

41. Proportion of ODA provided to help build trade capacity [e]
Debt sustainability

[a] For monitoring country poverty trends, indicators based on national
poverty lines should be used, where available.
[b] Amongst contraceptive methods, only condoms are effective in preventing
HIV transmission. The contraceptive prevalence rate is also useful in
tracking progress in other health, gender and poverty goals. Because the
condom use rate is only measured amongst women in union, it will be
supplemented by an indicator on condom use in high risk situations. These
indicators will be augmented with an indicator of knowledge and
misconceptions regarding HIV/AIDS by 15-24 year-olds (UNICEF – WHO).
[c] To be measured by the ratio of proportion of orphans to non-orphans aged
10-14 who are attending school.
[d] Prevention to be measured by the % of under 5s sleeping under insecticide
treated bednets; treatment to be measured by % of under
5s who are appropriately treated.
[e] OECD and WTO are collecting data that will be available from 2001 onwards.
[f] An improved measure of the target is under development by ILO for future
years.
