The State of the World's Children
2002
 As the 21st century begins, children and women are the
overwhelming majority of the people in the world who live in poverty, who are killed and maimed in conflicts and who are most vulnerable to infection with
HIV/ AIDS. Their rights, as set forth in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, are violated every day in countless ways.

Poverty and Children
Lessons of the 90s
for Least Developed Countries
 The decade of the 1990s returned a mixed score card for the Least
Developed Countries (LDCs). Overall, the LDCs recorded only modest progress, but there were some encouraging experiences in social
development and economic integration. The Third United Nations Conference on

Implementing the 20/20 Initiative
 During
the first half of the 1990s, goals and targets for infant mortality,
child mal-nutrition, adult literacy and other social indicators were set
at landmark world summits and global conferences. The 20/20 Initiative

into reality. A compact between developing and industrialized countries,
20/20 calls for the allocation of, on average, 20 per cent of the budget
in developing countries and 20 per cent of official development
assistance (ODA) to these basic social services. It also aims to ensure
that these resources are used with greater efficiency and equity.
