Millennium Development Goals [1]

2015 sub-Saharan Africa achievement [1]

 Target 5: Reduce by two-thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under-five mortality rate

52% reduction in child mortality

 Target 6: Reduce by three-quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio

49% reduction in maternal mortality ratio

 Target 7: Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS

51% reduction in new HIV infections

 Target 8: Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases

69% reduction in malaria mortality in the under-five age group

Sustainable Development Goals [2]

2015 sub-Saharan burden of disease

 3.1: By 2030, reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births

546 per 100,000 live births [75]

 3.2: By 2030, end preventable deaths of newborns and under-five children, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1000 live births and under-five mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1000 live births

Neonatal and under-five mortality is 29 and 83 per 1000 live births, respectively [75]

 3.3: By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, TB, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases

2.6 (0–20.1) new HIV infections per 1000 uninfected population^a [76]

281 (22–852) new TB cases per 100,000 population^a [76]

268.6 (3.6–460.9) new malaria cases per 1000 population at risk^a [76]

 3.8: Achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential healthcare services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all

HIV treatment coverage 0–70%^b [77]

TB treatment coverage 10–70%^b [77]

IPTp coverage 17–40% [37]

Use of ITNs 10–70%^b [77]
