MDGs as an Advocacy Tool
9 clear and simple goals that are easily
understood by everyone, thus encouraging
participation. Coherent and consistent
messages for the UN system and other
stakeholders. Numerous examples in Albania
including - MDG Advocacy tour to all Regions
bringing the message to the local level -
Television Information Spots - Poster and
leaflet campaign - MDG Documentary is being
produced - Radio broadcasts, wesbsites, etc.

12
Purpose of MDGR
  • Public advocacy constituency
  • Customise targets
  • Concise assessment, jargon-free, not prescriptive
  • Based on existing data analyses
  • Involving main partners

13
MDGs and Human Rights
  • Focus on goals and targets consistent with
    rights-based approach to development can help
    create awareness of rights and mobilise resources
    for meeting obligations and entitlements
  • - Generally poor and excluded whose rights are
    ignored and who lack access to information and
    services
  • - Time-bound goals and targets can accelerate
    progress if they help build alliances and
    trigger complementary actions
  • MDGs need prioritising in relation to country
    setting and combined with national poverty goals
    and targets

14
MDGs and CCAs/UNDAFs/PRSPs
  • MDGs provide a core and common development focus
    for CCAs/UNDAFs
  • Indicators used for tracking MDGs a sub-set of
    those in 2002 revised CCA Indicator Framework in
    2004
  • MDGs can be used as entry point for UN engagement
    in PRSPs and enhance social sector focus
  • Use of MDGs in CCAs/UNDAFs and PRSPs helps give
    momentum to ensuring provision of basic social
    services targeted towards poorest

    Albanias integration into the European Union,
    using the localized MDGs (national and
    sub-national) as the common UN objectives.
  • The National Strategy for Socio-Economic
    Development (NSSED) is guiding Albania towards
    European Union integration by establishing
    long-term objectives aimed at reducing poverty,
    increasing economic growth, raising education
    enrollment and reducing child mortality.
