All countries can make some progress toward the health MDGs and ensure that the poor do not lag behind. The second half of the period 1990-2015 can go better than the first half. The focus on the MDGs at the start of this decade has contributed to a shift in the attention given by development partners -donors and governments -to health outcomes and to the contributions of multiple sectors to health. However, the attention span is often of short duration and it is always a challenge in global health to keep the momentum going and sustain the commitment to any health goal, be it disease-specific goals or broader development goals such as the MDGs. What could make a significant difference would be for communities and civil society to take greater ownership of the MDGs and use MDG monitoring to keep local, national, and global leadership accountable
