Maintaining momentum towards the MDGs: an impact evaluation of interventions to improve maternal and child health and nutrition outcomes in Bangladesh

This report looks at the progress Bangladesh had made in improving maternal and child health and nutrition in meeting the Millennium Development Goals. (MDG's)

It also addresses the issue of what publicly-supported programs and external assistance from the Bank and other agencies can do to accelerate attainment of targets such as reducing infant mortality by two-thirds.

The evidence presented relates to Bangladesh, a country which has made spectacular progress but needs to maintain momentum in order to achieve its own poverty reduction goals.
