1. Visualisation of MDG implementation with Time Distance Progress Chart
for World regions, China, and India
The time dimension of MDG implementation can be presented and analysed in a new complementary way that is very easy to understand and to communicate

2. Time Distance Progress Chart of MDG implementation for world regions
Are we around 2010 ahead or behind in time comparing with the line to the 2015 MDG targets measured by S-time-distance in years (+ time lag, - time lead)
S-time-distance measure: deviation in time from path to target, (+) time lag, (-) time lead
TA (xxxx) – 2015 target already achived in year xxxx
An overview of the situation in the 7 world regions:
2015 Target achieved
18 cases
Time lead
17 cases
Time lag less than 6 years
21 cases
Time lag 6 years or more
12 cases
