National MDG Theme group Moving Forward, Challenges and Final Outlook The next step should be for Curaçao and Sint Maarten to use the findings of this report as suggestions to develop policies and make decisions or to inform policy and decision makers. Appropriate strategies must be adopted to address the goals and targets that are not being met and to sustain or make further progress in those areas where progress has been made. The MDG workgroup must play a critical role in moving the MDG agenda forward. The following should be key considerations as adapted from the Global MDG Synthesis Report 2010: Targeted investments in key areas will have a significant multiplier effect on growth and prosperity and across all the MDGs. This includes providing access to energy; boosting agricultural production; expanding opportunities for women and youth, and investing in health and education services. The MDGs are indeed achievable. Every effort must now be made to accelerate progress to achieve these goals through national action plans, policies and strategies that address barriers to progress. The UN remains a key partner in this global effort. The Government looks forward to the continued support of the UN. The role of national policies, domestic resources and development strategies cannot be overemphasized. However, since domestic economies are now interwoven with the global economic system, an effective use of trade and investment opportunities can help countries fight poverty. Development efforts at the national level need to be backed by an enabling international environment that supports national actions and strategies. Acceleration of progress is possible when strong government leadership, effective policies and institutional capacity for scaling up public investments are complemented by adequate financial and technical support and an enabling policy environment from the international community.

Panama’s conditional cash transfer program provided free primary care services, vaccinations and reproductive health care to 70,599 households, or 95 per cent of people living under the poverty line, during 2007 – 2008. Cambodia’s 100 per cent Condom Use program contributed to doubling condom use among sex workers. HIV prevalence declined from 1.2 to 0.7 per cent between 2003 and 2008. Small-scale micro-projects, such as provision of low-cost electricity in the form of bio-fuel multifunctional platforms in Burkina Faso, Mali and Senegal, have created income-generating opportunities for women, while reducing time poverty. Albania adopted an MDG 9 to reform overall state systems of public administration, legislation and policies in accordance with EU Standards by 2015. The country has made significant progress. Challenges: On how to introduce an MDG Strategy The new countries of Curaçao and Sint Maarten need a coordinating mechanism for the development of a coherent MDG strategy. Attention should be given to the incentives in place for an overall MDG Strategy to function properly as government ministries, departments and units have to work in a coordinated fashion among sectors. Appropriate institutional structure that will facilitate an effective overall localization plan because while the MDGs are cross cutting to several departments, it will be worthwhile to have the coordinating mechanism operate from a central Ministry such as within the Office of the Prime Minister, General Affairs or a Unit within the Ministry of Planning/ Finance for the new countries Curaçao and Sint Maarten. A separate unit with focal points from all other ministries could be an alternative. Assess the social and cultural issues in neighboring countries in the Caribbean which may be relevant to the local needs of the Curaçao and Sint Maarten. Facilitate clearer aid coordination and debt relief mechanisms that are backed by evidence based statistics from this report to address trade openness issues, and island identified priorities that address social and economic issues.
