Personal Statement
On this page, you'll read my personal statement/reflection for this benchmark.
In order to implement the Millennium Development Goals in any nation, you need a thorough budget, a well organized plan on how they’re going to be implemented and how it will affect your nation. Depending on your country, the location, and the economic position your nation is in, this will either be an easy or difficult task. To implement an MDG, you must analyze many different aspects of your country. How will this affect our nation? Will this improve or hinder the condition that our country is already in? Due to the fact that the MDG’s are all somewhat connected, it will either be easy or difficult to implement them. When starting to implement MDG’s, I think it’s smarter to fast-track the ones that will have a positive long term affect on your nation. If things go as planned, the implementation will help your nation thrive in different aspects of life.
I believe that the most pressing issue that faces this nation, are probably the environmental issues. The United Arab Emirates has a growing population, and there is an increase in their industrial and urban growth. Due to the growth, there are a few issues that come about. For example, the water resources could begin to dwindle, due to the amount of water consumption. This issue could be resolved if they work to improve and maintain clean, and abundant water resources, as well as improve their environmental effects. MDG 7, was focused on obtaining environmental sustainability. Although they have not yet completed this MDG, they show potential for achieving this goal. Once they pinpoint the main issues that are preventing them from reaching this goal, they can successfully plan to fix the issues and get on the track to achieving this goal.
The most positive attributes in this nation, would be their implementation of MDG 2, which was focused on education. The target for this goal was to be able to have boys and girls complete primary schooling. The enrollment ratio of boys and girls in primary schooling in the UAE is 95.1%. The literacy rate in the UAE is 77.9%. The UAE has done a superb job at implementing the MDG, accomplishing it, and working to maintain it. This nation put an emphasis on education, and were able to increase the number of students enrolled, and keep children in schooling. Not only has this nation improved the percentage of children in primary education in their own nation, but the organization Dubai Cares, located in the UAE, works in the UAE as well as other countries to help poor children get an education. This nation has displays their importance of educating their children, as well as providing poor children with access to quality primary education.
