Summary
El Salvador and Uruguay are not that different when it
comes to the eight millennial development goals. Uruguay
scored a little higher in most of the goals, however El
Salvador exceeded Uruguay in other areas. Uruguay had a
much better economy and education system, whereas El
Salvador had more fresh water and a more sustainable
environment. Even though both Uruguay and El Salvador
wont reach their goals by 2015 they both have steadily
improved. As long as accountability is held they will
continue to improve in these goals for the future.
