7Why MDG based Planning?
- The MDGs have become the shared global framework
for development - They allow countries to flip the question
-
- FROM How close can we get to the MDGs under
the current constraints - To What will it take to achieve the MDGs?
- Countries are empowered to adopt development
strategies ambitious enough to achieve the MDGs - It is necessary to distinguish between the
content of development strategies and the process
by which they are developed

Implied (but uncertain) trajectory still falls
far short of MDGs
MDG target
PRS aligned with MDG needs assessment
Level of MDG progress
