  1. The Challenge of Integrating the MDGs with Existing Processes (APRM and NDPs) A way forward towards a post 2015 agenda

  2. Outline • MDG based planning and progress • Integrating MDG & Aprm • Consultative process MDG post 2015 • Some tentative conclusions

  3. Context • 2005 UN Outcome Document on MDG consistent PRS/NDPs as a requirement to accelerate towards MDGs. • This was based on improved: • Ownership • Results based benchmarks • Long term perspective

  4. MDG based planning • 11 Country studies on planning processes • Using the MDGs to inform: • National Vision • Cost into MTEF and budgetary process • Benchmark NDPs • Improved progress towards MDGs and assisted in a focus on results

  5. MDG based planning Tanzania-Mkukuta • What is needed is to operationalise the goals and targets elaborating on the various goals and targets and interpreting the driving forces in greater detail by sector, region and district and lower levels; • There is need to use the Tanzania National Business Council broadened and enhanced to accommodate the civil society and small and medium enterprisesectors as a major vehicle for monitoring the implementation of TDV 2025, • One implication of participation of all these stakeholders in implementing the vision is that the Government will need to put in place clearer accountability mechanisms and satisfy the demand side from the public; • •

  6. MDG planning Tanzania-MKUKUTA • Implementation of the Vision and plans leading to its achievement will be followed by budgeting and resource allocation that is consistent with enhancing realization of its goals and targets. Resource requirements (financial, human and • There is need to enhance the quality of existing routine data systems and routine data systems should be made more relevant to decision makers, particularly at local government level;

  7. MDG progress • Goal 2: African countries likely to meet enrollment targets, but must consolidate efforts for completion rates • Goal 3, Target 3A: Positive trends in education parity and improvements in political representation of women • Goal 6, Target 6A: Significant improvements in prevention of new HIV infections and provision of Antiretroviral Treatment • Goal 8, Target 8D: A considerable number of African countries have reached post-HIPC completion point

  8. MDGs Progress II • MDGs that require household income to progress are progressing the least- poverty still remains the kernel of the MDGs • Progress is skewed towards urban and high income groups • Inadequate resource allocation • Inefficient and inefficacious public service delivery • Coordination issues

  9. Integrating the Initiatives: APRM vs. MDG-based NDPs • MDGs and APRM share several areas of commonality • APRM Questionnaire is a basis for assessing commonality • Questionnaire has four sections addressing four governance themes – political, economic, corporate governance and socio development • Each section outlines a number of objectives related to the theme of the section • For each objective there are questions • For each question there are a number of indicators

  10. Why Integrate? • To exploit synergies among the initiatives • To avoid the establishment of parallel institutions and processes that overstretch the limited capacities of developing countries • To deepen existing institutions and processes • To ensure more targeted use of scarce resources

  11. Consultative process on post 2015 agenda I • An ECA-administered electronic survey of 112 stakeholders from 32 African countries, distributed across the five subregions of the continent yielded the following perspectives on the post-2015 development agenda: • The MDGs remain relevant to member States • The overwhelming majority of survey respondents agree that the MDG areas: (a) are important development priorities for their countries, (b) reflect “most/all” or “some” of the development priorities of their respective countries, and (c) should feature in the post-2015 agenda. • The MDGs only reflect a subset of development priorities • Notwithstanding the perceived relevance of the MDGs, a significant proportion of survey respondents identified other broad development areas that the current MDGs neglect and made suggestions for improvement.

  12. Some Results of Consultative process
