The Philippines has progressed well towards the achievement of several of the millennium development goals (MDGs). Since 1990, considerable headway has been made towards the eradication of extreme poverty, reductions in child mortality, and improvements in household potable water and sanitation. However, the challenges remain formidable. In the 2000s there was an increase in poverty incidence, delaying the achievement of the goal for extreme poverty (MDG 1) and worsening prospects for a significant reduction in moderate poverty. Likewise, the goals for primary education, as well as for maternal and reproductive health, remain elusive.
