Based on this, LOCs are out of truck in achieving most of the MOGs though; some uneven achievements were recorded in these countries. The proportion of people living below poverty line was declined from 40.4 and 45.5 percent of the 1990 average to 36.1 and 38.7 percent in 2006 in LOCs and in Ethiopia respectively. Net primary education was increased from 72 to 78 Percent in LOCs (average) and from 22 to 67.8 percent in Ethiopia during the same period respectively. Similarl y, the ratio of girls to boys in primary and secondary education was increased from 0.76 in 1990 to 0.89 in 2006 in LOCs (average); while it was increased from 0.68 to 0.81 in Ethiopia during this period. In reducing under- five mortality rate and infant mortality rate (mortality rate of children of below one year old), while in LOCs under- five and infant mortality rates were reduced from 180 and 113 per 1000 live birth of the 1990 average to 142 and 90 in 2006 respectively; in Ethiopia under-five and infant mortality rates were reduced from 204 and122 of the 1990 figure to 123 and 80 in 2006 respectively. Regarding maternal mortality rates, it was red uced from 890 and 850 in 2000 to 870 and 720 in 2006 in LOCs (average) and in Ethiopia respectively. In reversing the spread of HIV/AOIS and incidence of malari a, HIV prevalence rate was reduced from 2.29 and 2. 7, percent to 1.7 and 2.1 , percent in LOCs average and in Eth iopia respectively. Moreover, Ethiopia was also successful in reversing the incidence of malaria. In insuring environmental sustainability goal (MOG goal 7), as opposed to what is expected, destruction of area covered by forest increased in LOCs in general and in Ethiopia in particular though, with regard to expansion of pure water and sanitation service, LOCs managed to increase the proportion of population with access to safe water and sanitation from 51 percent and 21 percent in 2000 to 59 percent and 38 percent in 2004 respectively; while Ethiopia failed in achieving both targets. Regarding developing global partnership for development (MOG goal 8) LOCs in general and Ethiopia in particular received $126,894 million (10.67 percent of commitment) and $9,639 million (10.02 percent of the commitment) from OAC member countries respectively. Hence, if th e current achievement continues in the remaining years, LOCs co uld achieve only the targets of: reversing the spread of HIV/AOIS; halving the proportion of people with out access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation. On the other hand, Ethiopia could only achieve only targets of reducing infant mortality rate; reversing the spread of HIV and incidence of malaria.enMillennium Development GoalsSome ProblemsThesis
