　　World Falling Behind in Child Nutrition Goal

　　U.N. officials say the world must do a great deal more to meet the goal of halving the rate of undernourishment among children. (21)

　　The regional nutrition representative of the U.N. Children Fund, Karen Codling, says UNICEF's report shows the world has made little progress toward reducing undernutrition among young children.

　　"The report shows that overall in the world, we have only reduced child underweight by five percentage points since 1990," she explained. " (22)"

　　The 1990 goals seek to improve significantly the lives of the world's poor by 2015. (23)

　　Codling says Asia on average is on track to meet the goal on child nutrition - but this is largely due to the performance of China, which has halved its proportion of malnourished children, from 19 percent to eight percent. (24)

　　But she notes that seven million Chinese children are still undernourished. (25)

　　A.It means that the world is not on track to achieve the World Millennium Development Goals for hunger and poverty.

　　B. Nevertheless, a report by the U.N. Children’s Fund, says some countries, particularly China, are succeeding.

　　C. The UNICEF report says that most of the nations of Southeast Asia are not on track to halve their rates in the next nine years.

　　D.She attributes China's success to its growing economy, government efforts to reduce poverty, and generalized access to education.
