Nations was only halfway toward reaching
its remaining targets in 2010.
Acceleration toward the MDGs
Various other mechanisms exist to accelerate
progress toward the MDGs in addition
to improvements in aid effectiveness. For
example, in 2010, the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP) developed an
MDG acceleration framework (MAF) to provide
a systematic way of identifying bottlenecks
and possible high-impact solutions that
could assist countries to pick up the pace on
attaining the MDGs. The framework was
rolled out in 10 countries across a range of
MDGs in 2010 and has been used since then
to assist 44 countries across almost all of the
MDGs. This work has led to concrete plans
of action with coordinated roles for governments
and all development partners involved
in achieving countries’ MDG priorities.
The results from the MAFs completed
to date are encouraging and have led to
increased collaboration between the World
Bank and the UN in this area. The initial lessons
learned include the importance of strong
national ownership, facilitation of cross-sectoral
collaboration, and participation by civil
service and nongovernmental organizations.
Of critical importance for the countries themselves
is actual implementation of the agreedupon
MDG action plan, which includes
ensuring that gaps in institutional capacity
and sector governance are addressed, that the
MDG action plan is adequately incorporated
into annual or multiyear partner support
plans, and that both intermediate and final
indicators of MDG achievement are regularly
monitored, all to ensure that efforts are yielding
the desired results.
Various other initiatives have been put
in place to accelerate progress toward the
MDGs such as the Sanitation and Water
for All initiative. This is a global partnership
between developing countries, donors,
multi-lateral agencies, civil society, and other
development partners working together to
achieve universal and sustainable access to
sanitation and safe drinking water, with
an immediate focus on achieving the Millennium
Development Goals in the most
off-track countries. 16 To accelerate progress
on MDG 1c (reduction of underweight in
children under five), the Scaling Up Nutrition
(SUN) global movement was set up to
support nutrition sensitive interactions in 33
SUN countries. Investments are supported
that are aligned to national nutrition plans
and contribute directly to the process of
