Coordinating global and national efforts
The MDGs provide a framework for the entire UN system to work coherently
together toward a common end. UNDP’s global development network
on the ground in 166 countries is uniquely positioned to help advocate
for change, connect countries to knowledge and resources, and coordinate
broader efforts at the country level. UNDP's work on the MDGs is guided
by the United
Nations Core Strategy on MDGs and focuses on:
- Campaigning & mobilisation: Supporting advocacy
for the MDGs and working with partners to mobilise the commitments
and capabilities of broad segments of society to build awareness
on the MDGs;
- Analysis: Researching and sharing best strategies
for meeting the MDGs in terms of innovative practices, policy and
institutional reforms, means of policy implementation, and evaluation
of financing options;
- Monitoring: Helping countries report advancement towards the MDGs
and track progress;
- Operational activities: Goal-driven assistance to support governments
to tailor MDGs to local circumstances and challenges;
address key constraints to progress on the MDGs.
