+ The bulk of this note was prepared for a report to UNICEF in 2004. In fact, its key elements were presented to
a seminar at the UNECA even earlier (in early 2003, to be specific). We believe that it is relevant today to
highlight the difficulties of the MDGs perspective. We thus made only very minor changes to the text.
