Philippine Experience on the MDGs

1. Implementation plan should include a financing plan.

2. Sustained and consistent commitment across all stakeholders: government,

private sector, civil society and the international community.

3. Implementation plan should include programs to build resilience, especially

of the poor and near poor, against natural and man-made hazards and

economic shocks.

4. There should be a clear assignment of responsibilities consistent with the

governance structure.

5. There should be an appropriate data monitoring system to support the

accountability mechanism.

PH lessons learned: Good governance is key

6. Localization efforts

– Local chief executives as MDG champions

• Production of local MDG reports

– Capacitating LGUs
