Periodic assessment of progress is essential for positioning countries on their road to 2015 deadline. Monitoring progress constitutes the basis for the policy-makers. Plans they draft account for the lost time and ensure that no more opportunities are missed in the future. Targets and indicators are essential elements of monitoring the progress.
