Guyana:
The amount of people living in extreme poverty
has declined from 28.7% in 1993 to 18.6% in
2006.
The unemployment rate overall fell from 11.7%
in 1992 to 10.7% in 2006.
The female unemployment rate declined from
18.1% in 1992 to 13.9% in 2006.
The percentage of youths who make up the
employed labor force increased from 8.7% to
15.8%.
Malnutrition among children was significantly
reduced.
Kenya:
Between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people
had an income that is less than $1 a day.
30% of the total population was below the poverty
line.
In 1993, between 22-30% of children under 5 years
of age were moderately to severely underweight.
In 2003, that number was reduced to 19%. In 10
years, that number reduced about 10%.
I believe that this goal will be completed by 2015
because in the more recent years, the percentage
of all Kenyan children being underweight has been
reducing and they are becoming healthier.
Comparison: There have been more severe problems recently with poverty in Kenya with very low income
and underweight children, however they have come a long ways and continue to improve. There are also
improvements with the weight of children in Guyana. Both have the ability to reach the 2015 goal.
Kenya:
The goal is to ensure that by 2015, boys and girls
everywhere in Kenya will be able to complete full
courses of primary schooling.
The literacy rate of people between the ages of 15
and 24 both male and female was 89.9% in 1990.
In 2004, the literacy rate had decreased to 80.3%.
The completion rate of both boys and girls
completion in 2003 was 85.5 and in 2004 it was
91.8.
I think that these goals will be able to be completed
by 2015 because since 2003, the completion rate
for primary schooling has increased significantly.
Comparison: The literacy rate has decreased in Kenya, where as more children have been able to go to
school and become literate in Guyana. Both areas have improved and have pretty high completion rates of
primary education. The goal is likely to be achieved in Guyana and Kenya.
Kenya:
The parity index in the primary level enrolment in
1991 was 0.96% and in 2004 it decreased to
0.94%.
Throughout the years it seems like it would
increase some years and then decrease other
years.
I think that this goal will take some time to
complete because it seems like there is not much
stability with the enrolment.
Comparison: Parity has decreased some in Kenya in the primary level, where in Guyana it has increased to
the point of eliminating gender disparity in primary and secondary education. There is more female involvement in
the Guyana Parliament. The 2015 goal has been met for Guyana.
Kenya:
The goal is to reduce between 1990 and 2015
with the under 5 mortality rate.
This has been increasing slowly since 1990. Every
4-5 years, in increases between 3-10%
Toward the more recent years, the mortality rates
has slowed down quite a bit.
I think that over time this will be obtainable by
2015.
Comparison: Kenya shows recent improvements in mortality rates with the potential to reach target goals, and
Guyana has already reached its goal of reducing the under-five mortality rate by . There are different
implementations that have caused the great success in Guyana. Guyana has reached the 2015 goal.
Kenya:
The goal is to improve the maternal health rate by
.
The mortality ratio in 2003 was estimated to be
41.6%. This was the percentage of live births that
were attended by skilled personnel.
The mortality ratio per 100,000 live births in 1995
was 1300 and in the year 2000 it was 1000. It was
almost reduced by 50% in just 5 years.
I think that they will be able to complete this goal
by 2015.
Comparison: Both places has significant decreases in their maternal mortality ratios. Guyana also has
improvements with maternal health with the use of contraceptives. Guyana has reach the 2015 goal.
Kenya:
The combat of the diseases in Kenya has halted by
2015 and has began to reverse the spread of
HIV/AIDS.
The number of deaths caused by AIDS in 2001
was 140,000 and it has stayed at that number.
The percentage of people living with HIV between
the ages of 15-49 in 2001 was 8%, 2003 was
reduced to 6.8%, and in 2004 reduced to 6.1%.
The percentage of women who know healthy
looking people can transmit HIV in 2003 was 83%
and has continued to increase over the years.
I think that this goal will be obtained in 2015
because there are a lot more ways of warning
people and teaching them about the effects.
Comparison: Kenya has halted the combat of the disease, and now has a reverse of HIV/AIDS where in
Guyana they have shown the beginning of halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and are projected to meet the goal in
time. Both have a good chance at meeting the 2015 goal with the new resources they have for the people.
Kenya:
Comparison: Sanitation and safe drinking water have increased in both places. Guyana has reached part of
the goal of ensuring environmental sustainability, and both places have the potential to reach their goals.
Kenya:
The goal is to make sure that debt problems
through national and international measures in
order to make debt sustainable long term.
The percentage of exported goods and services
has been decreasing yearly.
Technology for communication and information has
improved Kenyan society a ton because of the
many different opportunities that are provided
through technology and computers.
I think that this goal will be obtained in 2015.
Comparison: Both are working on making debt sustainable, and could have some risks involved. Technology
in both places have improved significantly. The goal for both places can be reached by 2015.
