联合国于2000年通过的《千年宣言》将一系列千年发展目标确定为联合国成员国的优先事项，承诺各国政府到2015年实现8项主要千年发展目标和18项相关目标。目前正在通过跟踪一系列48项技术指标来评估实现这些目标的进展情况，这些指标已被专家们一致通过。这份概念文件概述了INDEPTH网络的健康和人口监测系统成员在监测实现千年发展目标的进展方面可以发挥的作用。HDSS产生的数据的独特品质在于，它们提供了一个机会，通过对特定人群的长期随访，纵向测量或评估干预措施。
The Millennium Declaration, adopted by the United Nations (UN) in 2000, set a series of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as priorities for UN member countries, committing governments to realising eight major MDGs and 18 associated targets by 2015. Progress towards these goals is being assessed by tracking a series of 48 technical indicators that have since been unanimously adopted by experts. This concept paper outlines the role member Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSSs) of the INDEPTH Network could play in monitoring progress towards achieving the MDGs. The unique qualities of the data generated by HDSSs lie in the fact that they provide an opportunity to measure or evaluate interventions longitudinally, through the long-term follow-up of defined populations.
