What you will be able to do by the end of this module: Describe how MDGs are made operationalDescribe how MDGs are made operational Understand why MDGs need to be adapted to fit the country’s situationUnderstand why MDGs need to be adapted to fit the country’s situation Know how to advocate for MDGsKnow how to advocate for MDGs Explain the importance of costing MDGsExplain the importance of costing MDGs Outline some of the principles in setting targetsOutline some of the principles in setting targets

Operationalizing the MDGs Each country needs to develop a long-term (10-12 year) policy plan for reaching the MDGsEach country needs to develop a long-term (10-12 year) policy plan for reaching the MDGs Then, countries need to develop medium-term (3- 5 year) strategies that reflect the long-term goalsThen, countries need to develop medium-term (3- 5 year) strategies that reflect the long-term goals MDGs can be made operational through a number of other policy processes, including:MDGs can be made operational through a number of other policy processes, including: - National human development strategies - National human development strategies - National strategies for sustainable development - National strategies for sustainable development - National conservation strategies - National conservation strategies - Sectoral plans and strategies - Sectoral plans and strategies

Why do we set targets? To mobilize resources to achieve specific goalsTo mobilize resources to achieve specific goals To priorities the allocation of resources (the larger the number of targets the weaker their role in allocating resources)To priorities the allocation of resources (the larger the number of targets the weaker their role in allocating resources) To introduce accountabilityTo introduce accountability

Practical 11 1.Compare international and nationally adapted MDGs and discuss, which set is more ambitious and why 2.Compare national mid-term development strategy’s targets with MDG targets - How well does the MTDS cover MDGs? - How well does the MTDS cover MDGs? - Are MTDS targets ambitious enough for MDG achievement? - Are MTDS targets ambitious enough for MDG achievement? - Are MTDS targets plausible/achievable? - Are MTDS targets plausible/achievable? - Which MTDS targets are not in the MDGs? - Which MTDS targets are not in the MDGs?
