Who we are?

The MDG Achievement Fund is a United Nations resource that finances and supports national efforts to accelerate progress on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Our work aims to:

  • Positively impact the status of the MDGs and tackle inequality;
  • Increase national ownership and civil society participation; and
  • Improve aid effectiveness by building on the collective strength of the United Nations

The MDG Fund was created in December 2006 with an initial commitment of 528 million Euros (€) by the Spanish Government to the United Nations. An additional €90M were committed in September 2008.

What we do?

We work through the UN in support of national Governments, local authorities and civil society towards:

  • Implementing joint programmes that strengthen public policy development and ensure measurable impact on select MDGs
  • Engaging in advocacy and mobilization efforts that keep the MDGs high on the political agenda
  • Learning through continuous monitoring and evaluation using these to scale up and inform future action.

The MDG-F supports almost 130 joint programmes in the areas of gender equality, youth employment, economic governance, culture and development, conflict prevention, environment, child nutrition and private sector.
