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.
