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 />

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 />

Planning Commission and<br />

implementation <strong>of</strong> Virtual<br />

World Bank, DFID, UNDP<br />
