MDG-F Home Page | MDG-F Framework Document | Eligible Countries

In December 2006, UNDP and the Government of Spain signed an agreement to establish a new fund to accelerate efforts to reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), and to support UN reform efforts at the country level. The Government of Spain committed €528 million to the MDG Achievement Fund (MDG-F) for programming between 2007 and 2010.

The MDG-F will support innovative actions with the potential for wide replication and high-impact in select countries and sectors, within the framework of the Millennium Declaration's global partnership for development and the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. The MDG-F's decisions and approach will be informed by the imperatives of ensuring national and local ownership of supported activities, alignment with national policies and procedures, coordination with other donors, results-orientation and mutual accountability.

The MDG-F will operate through the UN development system and finance, collaborative UN activities that leverage the value-added of the UN in the sector and country concerned, particularly where the UN's collective strength is harnessed in order to address multi-dimensional development challenges. Some 59 countries are eligible to apply for MDG-F assistance.

The MDG-F will support a number of thematic areas, including democratic governance, gender equality and women's empowerment, basic social services, economic and private sector development, environment and climate change, culture and development and conflict prevention and peace building.

The MDG-F Steering Committee Secretariat is located in UNDP. UNDP's Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) Office provides the Administrative Agent functions of the Fund.
