  1. Key Highlights of the MDG Needs Assessment Study Elkana Ong’utiMinistry of Planning and National Development 28th November 2005

  2. The MDG Needs Assessment Study Objective is to put the country on an MDG-based long term planning path by: • Identifying interventions and investments needed to meet MDGs by 2015 • Identifying the resources required to support a scale-up of interventions through to 2015 • Outlining a financing strategy to achieve MDGs • Provide a well researched & analysed long term plan as a basis for policy interventions • Provide a framework for M&E and policy dialogue

  3. Outputs from the Study • Comprehensive Kenya MDG Needs Assessment Report • Needs Assessment Report to inform long term MDG-based Plan • Subsequently, the long term plan to form the basis for the rolling medium term strategies and sectoral plans

  4. The Needs Assessment Report • The Needs Assessment process took place from June 2004 – July 2005. • The Needs Assessment Report was launched in August 2005 • The following are the highlights of the report:
