CHAPTER 10: DOMESTICATION OF THE MDGS<br />
The quest <strong>to</strong> achieve the MDGs in <strong>Nigeria</strong><br />
represents the country‘s commitment <strong>to</strong> the global<br />
partnership that originated from the country‘s<br />
endorsement <strong>of</strong> the Millennium Declaration at the<br />
Millennium Summit <strong>of</strong> 2000. Because the MDGs<br />
are stated as stand-alone goals, national attempts<br />
<strong>to</strong> achieve them <strong>of</strong>ten blur the multi-sec<strong>to</strong>ral links<br />
between all goals, targets and indica<strong>to</strong>rs. From the<br />
on-set, the OSSAP-MDGs implementation<br />
strategy was based on the understanding that the<br />
Millennium Development goals and targets are<br />
interrelated and should be addressed as a whole.<br />
This is why the MDGs have been closely<br />
integrated with the country‘s national<br />
development agenda.<br />
In the <strong>Nigeria</strong>n context, the MDGs represent a<br />
social investment in line with the country‘s Vision<br />
20:2020, and <strong>to</strong> help integrate the DRGs<br />
investments in<strong>to</strong> the wider developmental goals <strong>of</strong><br />
the country‘s development strategies, the OSSAP-<br />
MDGs is mandated <strong>to</strong>:<br />
Sensitise senior public sec<strong>to</strong>r<br />
managers in collaboration with<br />
the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Finance,<br />
Budget Office, Debt<br />
Management Office, National<br />
Planning Commission and<br />
NAPEP in the design and<br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> Virtual<br />
Poverty Fund (VPF);<br />
Evolve a consultative process<br />
meant <strong>to</strong> identify key strategic<br />
areas likely <strong>to</strong> have the<br />
greatest impact on achieving<br />
MDGs with senior public<br />
service managers,<br />
representatives <strong>of</strong> IDPs, the<br />
World Bank, DFID, UNDP<br />
and civil society;<br />
Design appropriate systems <strong>to</strong><br />
