Description: This report looks at the conditions under which 18 Latin American and Caribbean countries would individually be able to meet the extreme poverty reduction targets established in the Millennium Declaration. It seeks to determine whether or not each country will succeed in halving its extreme poverty rate as of 1999, by the year 2015. This effort is part of the United Nations goal to ensure systematic and sustained monitoring and review of progress towards the MDGs in terms of achievements, trends, and shortfalls, and based on authoritative disaggregated data . Numerous tables and figures are presented to help illustrate data.--Publisher's description.
