UNDP Actions to accelerate progress towards lagging MDGs

UNDP will support the completion of country MDG Acceleration Action Plans using the MDG Acceleration Framework (MAF) and the associated follow-up through:

(i) identifying an initial pool of programme countries and ensuring that technical and financial resources and arrangements are in place for rollout ;
(ii) engaging and reaching agreement with potential programme countries that express interest and evidence of commitment to tackle off-track MDGs at national and/or sub-national levels;
(iii) completing all country level steps to develop Action Plans with particular attention to proposing policies, programmes and budgets that are gender responsive ; and
(iv) providing support on advocacy, technical issues, institutional capacity and coordination for effective follow-up on previously adopted MDG Action Plans.
