LEAST DEVELOPED Countries
The MDGs represent a global partnership
that has grown from the commitments
and targets established at the world
summits of the 1990s. Responding to the
world's main development challenges and
to the calls of civil society, the MDGs
promote poverty reduction, education,
maternal health, gender equality, and aim
at combating child mortality, AIDS and
other diseases.
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
Goal 2:
Achieve universal
primary education
Goal 3:
Promote gender equality
and empower women
Goal 5:
Improve maternal health
Goal 6:
Combat HIV/AIDS,
malaria and other diseases
Goal 7:
Ensure environmental
sustainability
Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development
The first seven goals are mutually reinforcing and are directed at reducing poverty in all its forms. The last goal - global partnership for development - is about the means to achieve the first seven.
The MDGs are focused primarily on 3 things:
HEALTH, EDUCATION AND INCOME.

Results Based Management (RBM) in UNDP
• A strategic management approach aimed at ensuring
that activities achieve desired results
• Stresses results rather than inputs and activities
(outputs outcomes impacts)
• Their challenge is to
constantly improve
their approach and
its underlying systems
• UNDP is committed to enhancing accountability within the
organization and in all its operations and partnerships, and
to promoting shared goals between donors and recipients, in
order to enhance participation and transparency.
• Accountability is based on a hierarchy of three tiers of
accountability.
– Organizational Accountability
– Program Accountability
– Staff Accountability
Accountability Framework
All of this is accountability within
the UNDP, but what happens when
resources are delegated to
governments and programs
OUTSIDE the UNDP?

• Measuring poverty and development primarily in terms of INCOME.
• Do the poor have the capability to pursue their own agenda?
• Countries are expected to submit to MDG’s rather than create
their own agenda.

DISLIKES…
• Goals defined before project begins
• No acknowledgement of uniqueness
in different cultures
• Women’s role reduced to mother or
daughter
• Focus on health and education
addresses social level only
• Depend HEAVILY on outside $$
• How do you measure success?
Can you put a number on HUMAN
development?
• Focus on END rather than
PROCESS.
• Is it possible to eradicate poverty?
• Is it sustainable?
