The number of people living in absolute poverty has decreased, and by 2030, it is projected that there will be no one living in deprivation by today's standards. Child mortality rates in Africa have dropped to levels seen in Europe in 1952. Progress is also being made in combating infectious diseases like malaria and tuberculosis.
