15 Problems Lack of international indicators to monitor indicators of MDG: - the ratio of school attendance among orphans and non-orphans aged 10-14; - proportion of population using solid fuels; - the percentage of population with sustainable access to affordable essential medicines; - the number of Internet users per 100 inhabitants.

16 Problems Lack of resources to conduct sample surveys. Unreliability and poor quality of administrative sources (HIV / AIDS and other communicable diseases transmitted by contact, environment, unemployment, ICT, the use of small sample sizes).

17 Further areas for monitoring of MDG indicators Gradual introduction of indicators of MDG, absent in the matrix of indicators of CDS in its structure. Improved distribution and access to the MDG indicators. Introduction of the new indicators reflecting the situation of women and men in the economy (women's and men's access to resources: land tenure, property, ICT). Updating indicators in accordance with the new trends in labor migration, violence against women and children.
