• The MDGs – eight goals, 34 targets and 60 indicators - were not meant to be national goals. Yet, looking back from 2011, it is quite remarkable how they are universally treated as such:
• a survey of 118 countries conducted in 2005 found about 86% to
have taken one or more of these goals for their own.
• Another survey of 22 PRSPs found primary schooling, health, income poverty and hunger to be widely adopted; however women’s political representation and natural resource conservation were among the least popular.
• Many countries also added to and adapted these goals in one or more of three ways – by changing the targets; adding additional goals; or localizing the goals even further to sub-national levels.
• a survey of 30 countries by UNDP – including Albania, Bangladesh, Kyrgyzstan, Senegal and Syria - found inclusion of the MDGs in various forms in national (and sub-national) development plans.

THREE (AND ½) STYLIZED FACTS ON COUNTRY PROGRESS
4
Progress is non-linear
Periods of acceleration and slow-down
Increasing marginal costs as targets approached
Progress could be non-monotonic
Reversals are possible, and can actually occur
Progress is heterogeneous
Different regions within a country progress at different rates
Growth slow-down could presage deceleration or reversal

Identify, codify the interventions required to meet the MDG targets
Help identify and prioritize MDG bottlenecks
Identify solutions to form an MDG Acceleration Compact that aligns and focuses stakeholders and resources on accelerating MDG progress
Implement and Monitor the MDG Acceleration Compact to ensure required impact

UGANDA 2010 MDG REPORT

UGANDA: REDUCING MATERNAL MORTALITY
10
On maternal mortality, the country will miss the target of reducing the maternal mortality rate (MMR) by three-quarters between 1990-2015, unless special measures are taken.
Maternal health a national priority: Roadmap (2007), engagement of Finance and Planning ministries.

UGANDA 2010 MDG REPORT
Poverty Practice, BDP, UNDP, New York 12
• MDG 5 (maternal health) was identified as one of the key goals where progress has been too slow
• Maternal health considered a national priority and means more than a health issue: rather a development challenge (strong linkages between MDG 5 & other MDGs)
• Four prioritized interventions to achieve maternal health target have been identified, namely emergency obstetric care; effective antenatal care; skilled attendants at birth and familly planning have been identified
• Analysis revealed that bottlenecks in the financing, delivery and utilIsation of maternal health services impede the effective implementation of these interventions.

UGANDA: COUNTRY ACTION PLAN FOR REDUCING MATERNAL MORTALITY
15
Operationalizes national Roadmap for Maternal Health (2007).
Balances between activities that yield immediate benefits towards acceleration, as well as those that should be initiated right now, but whose benefits will become evident later and will serve to sustain such gains.
Narrowly specifies capacity and governance bottlenecks, enabling the formulation of concrete solutions.
Addresses cultural factors affecting the demand for services related to family planning, and skilled birth assistance through sensitization of health care providers, as well as broader forms of outreach through partners and media: HRBA put into action.
Lessons learned from local experiences inform solutions – for example, through providing incentives to Village Health Teams.
Acceleration solutions for infrastructure bottlenecks are proposed through coordination with on-going programmes of other ministries.

Application at the Sub-National Level
Poverty Practice, BDP, UNDP, New York 16
In Columbia, the MDGs have been localized in the sense of national targets being chosen for the country (that are different from global ones). For example, in Cundinamarca the following targets apply

IMPLEMENTATION WELL UNDER WAY
• The action plans for both Colombia and Uganda are under implementation –
• for example in Colombia the action plans are being implemented with support from public utility companies
•And in Uganda through special coordination between government departments
