Thank you, sir, for your question.
This is indeed an extremely hot topic as we speak. In the quest for getting a democratic and engaged process worldwide, the development of sustainable development goals and the indicators related to that has been one of the most involved processes I've ever witnessed. It's quite a contrast from the way we set up the millennium development goals in the year 2000. It has also led to this plethora of everybody wanting their favourite target and favourite indicators in. But we are now in a situation where, in the final stretch, I think there is consensus.
I'm looking at a document in front of me, which is for global consultation, that says there should be targets related to adolescents, and there should be targets related to what the world should set itself to in terms of particularly specific goals that it can achieve within its own countries. It talks about universal health coverage. It talks about access to reproductive and other services. It talks about quality education.
Now, in quality education, there is a target percentage of youth and adults proficient in literacy and numeracy skills. I think on balance we are moving towards measurable things that governments can potentially begin to recognize and give value to.
As you mentioned, the millennium goals were successful because country X versus country Y versus country Z could see a common metric for comparison. As we move forward, I hope that in the sustainable development goals for adolescents, for both girls and boys there will be tangible goals: boys will not be ignored just because our focus has been on adolescent reproductive health in girls in particular.
