Focus area 3. Health and population dynamics
This focus area covers a number of topics addressed by the individual MDGs, and a large number of e-Inventory proposals have put forward clear recommendations on these issues, in the form of both broad and specific standalone goals. There are, for instance, a number of individual broad health goals which contain relatively diverse targets, along with more focused goals on maternal and infant health, and other specific population dynamics-related issues. The repeated interlinakge of targets to gender equality seems to be particularly noteworthy.
