Description:
Many countries ask the question: will my country reach all or some of the Millennium Development Goals by 2015? The answer to this question requires some kind of projection. However, scarcities of data and technical skills make this exercise difficult. In this paper, the author introduces simple techniques to project the behaviour of indicators, especially when there are limited data points to work with.
