(c) All the countries from the 60–90 per cent category need to move to the category of 90 per cent or more; (d) category. All the countries from 90 per cent or more category need to remain in this The assumption is that not all countries will progress at the same pace. Each year, a specific group of countries will achieve enough progress in the registration rates to move to the next category, with an increasing number of countries progressing annually, because of them benefitting from an increased number of activities implemented from the strategic plan. On the basis of the assumed progress rate for each year, tables A.2 show the expected number of countries classified in each category.
