Note to the facilitator:

This presentation discusses the global situation for achieving the goals. Please localize these slides to relate to your own country by describing which goals are on track and which are not likely to be achieved by 2015. Describe the national strategy; (the slide here describe the core UN strategy) resources available for the MDGs-internal and external and the challenges that the country faces for achieving the goals.

Ask participants to pair up and discuss with each other, a question such as “What do you think are the highest development priorities in our country?” After 5 minutes or so, ask for what was discussed.

Inform participants if they may ask questions during or after the presentation. Distribute handouts before or after the presentation of the localized slides. Make it interactive through the questions in the notes pages.

After the presentation, hold a discussion:

Suggested questions are:

What are the challenges this country faces in reaching the MDGs?

What is the role of the UNCT?/ Government?

What are some ways in which awareness of the MDGs within your country/ among policy makers/ in civil society/ may be increased?

How can we integrate the MDGs into our daily work?

How do you see MDGs being linked to the development priorities you mentioned earlier?

Check back with participants: “Did we achieve the purpose of this presentation?”

Module 1 Activity 1

Please localize these slides to your country situation

If the priorities mentioned by the participants do not link directly to the MDGs, use the opportunity to discuss the underlying issues which may be linked to security and political instability

The Millennium The Millennium Development GoalsDevelopment Goals

What they are, where they came from Why they are important

What are the highest development priorities in this country?

Introduce the Purpose

What are the MDGs?

How they originated

Why do they matter?

Background

The MDGs include halving income-poverty and hunger; achieving universal primary education and gender equality; reducing under-5 mortality by two-thirds and maternal mortality by three-quarters; reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS; and halving the proportion of people without access to safe water.

These are age-old challenges. Poverty is an old enemy that has many faces.

What is unprecedented is the commitment of world leaders to agree on setting a deadline for human development.

MDGsMDGs

Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

Achieve universal primary education

Promote gender equality and empower women

Reduce child mortality

Improve maternal health

Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases

Ensure environmental Sustainability

Develop a global partnership for development

These targets are to be achieved by 2015, from their level in 1990.

The 8 goals are general objectives (e.g. improve maternal health) whereas the 18 targets are specific aims (e.g. reduce maternal mortality by three-quarters).

The UN can provide a neutral space for actors to agree on a relevant set of operational targets, defined through a participatory process.

Suggested discussion questions:

•How do these goals relate to the development priorities you mentioned earlier?

•What about Goal 8? Why is it included among the goals?

Creating Global Partnerships for Development is a goal that developed countries have a primary responsibility for reporting on. It calls for building partnerships between rich and poor countries and for more and better development assistance.

MDGs: where did MDGs: where did they come from?they come from?

In September 2000, world leaders adopted the Millennium Declaration

The Millennium Development Goals for improving the human condition by 2015 are derived from the Millennium Declaration

In September 2005, world leaders will review progress towards the fulfillment of the MD, including the MDGs, and the way forward for their achievement by 2015

Background

Apart from their title, the MDGs are not new. They have been around for most of the 1990s, as outcomes of UN world summits and global conferences, starting with Jomtien and the Children’s Summit in 1990

The Millennium Declaration covers issues of peace security and development, including the environment, protection of vulnerable groups, human rights and governance. The declaration consolidated a set of inter- connected development goals into a global agenda. Although Human Rights is not among the Goals it cuts across all the goals.

What is new in the MDGs is the integrated, goal-oriented framework for poverty reduction.

Even if imperfect, the MDGs offer a breakthrough opportunity forcoherence in international poverty reduction activities

They are the first set of goals shared by developing and developed countries alike

They have been reaffirmed at the International Conference on Financing for Development (Monterrey, 2002) and the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (2002)

Achievement of the MDGs will represent major progress towards meeting Human Rights treaty obligations

5


MDGs: MDGs: Why do they matter?Why do they matter?

They are the first set of quantitative and time-bound goals shared by developing and developed countriesThey offer an integrated, goal-oriented framework for poverty reductionThey form the basis on which to mobilize resources for investing in human developmentAt the country level they provide a platform for the UN system to use neutrality and influence to advocate for change

Suggested questions

Any other reasons?

Goal 8 makes it possible to negotiate better terms of trade and more and improved international assistance for social development.

They are “safe” and non- controversial. They fall within the mandates of several UN agencies and development agendas of many donors.

MDGs: Core strategyMDGs: Core strategy

Monitoring - national MDG reportsAnalysis- the definition and assessment of the policy dimensions of achieving the MDGsAdvocacy and Campaigning - expand support beyond the UN system Operational support- financial and technical

The strategy focuses on two levels:-global and country level.

Suggested question: How do these elements relate to each other?

Needs Assessment, costing and policy research provide information for implementing programmes and advocacy campaigns; while advocacy builds momentum for implementing programmes. Implementation raises the “question how are we doing?” which leads to MDG Reports, which are very useful tools for advocacy.

Monitoring (“MDG Reports”): Systematic and sustained tracking and review of progress towards the MDGs - in terms of achievements, trends and shortfalls –

Analysis (“Millennium Project”): Definition and assessment of what policies, institutional reforms and investments, and financing options and strategies, are required for scaling up efforts to achieve the MDGs.

Advocacy/ Campaigning (“MDG Campaign”) Collaboration with a wide range of partners to mobilise the commitments and capabilities of broad segments of society to build awareness and galvanise public opinion in support of action MDGs.

Operational activities: Goal-driven assistance to address directly, key constraints to progress on the MDGs

7


MDGs: MDGs: can they be achieved?can they be achieved?

Is MDG progress on track? The Human Development Report 2003 identified 59 priority countries that are not on track to meeting the MDGs. Of these 39 are in Sub-Saharan Africa and 6 in Asia.

Does “average” progress reach the poor?Averages don’t show the reality of women’s incomes; disaggregated data is required

Are MDGs affordable? They are feasible and affordable, committed leadership, stronger partnerships, more money, and greater participation by the poor are needed

Suggested questions: Can they be achieved in your country?What are some constraints?

Different groups in society usually have very different levels of social and economic well being, based on gender, rural/ urban, region and ethnicity. Disaggregated data confirm that social indicators vary enormously within the same country and that national indicators hide wide disparities. A top- down approach will improve the condition of the already better off segments of society while a bottom- up approach can target the worse- off population. Frequently the poor do not take part fully in national progress; evidence suggests that disadvantaged groups are often by-passed by average progress.

Achieved To be achieved

No reliable and comparable data

Of the 7 global targets for which reasonably reliable data are available, only one is on track — access to water. Data for the 8th target — income-poverty — are not robust enough to make an informed judgement as to whether the world is on track towards the 2015 target.

Little or no progress was achieved in reversing the HIV/AIDS pandemic; HIV prevalence rates continue to rise in numerous countries. Only a few succeeded in reducing the spread of HIV (e.g. Cambodia and Uganda).

Progress was slow for child mortality, basic education, malnutrition, maternal mortality and gender discrimination in primary enrolment. Since the MDGs are to be achieved between 1990 and 2015, 40% of the road should have been covered by 2000. Instead, they all recorded about half of that level.

Only a fifth of the education target was achieved in the first 10 years, leaving 80 per cent to be covered in 60 per cent of the time period (between 2000 and 2015). No matter what the challenge is — HIV/AIDS, child mortality, malnutrition, income-poverty, maternal health, gender discrimination or environmental degradation — basic education is invariably a core element of the solution. Failure to keep the promise to give each and every child a good basic education will undermine the chances of reaching the other MDGs.

How much How much will MDGs cost?will MDGs cost?

World Bank estimates of additional financing requirements range from $40-$60 billion per year

The Millennium Project estimates that overall ODA required will be $135 billion in 2006, rising to $195 billion in 2015. Equivalent to 0.44 and 0.54% of donor GNPAdditional aid alone is not enough; policy reform and improving service delivery are also required.

Countries need detailed and rigorous investment plans and policy frameworks for achieving the MDGs

The figure is taken from World Bank Policy Research paper titled “Development Goals: History, Prospects and Costs” by Shantayanan Deverajan, Margaret J. Miller and Eric V. Swanson.

In short, money is necessary but money alone is not enough!

Financial assistance is one of many inputs required to reach the goals. Foreign aid is effective in countries where the policy and institutional environment is conducive to poverty reduction.

Increased investments need to accompany institutional reform, good policies, and increase efforts to improve the accountability of governments.

Poverty reduction strategies should anchor the scaling up of public investment, capacity building, domestic resource mobilization and official development assistance. They should also provide a framework for strengthening governance, promoting human rights, engaging civil society, and promoting the private sector.

Discussion Question: What does this mean in relation to goal 8?

The partnerships between rich and poor countries mean that greater volume of international aid would need to be met with greater accountability, fiscal and policy reforms on the part of developing countries.

Next slide is titled What can we do nationally?

Before displaying the slide ask participants hold a short discussion, then show the slide.

MDGs: What can we do?MDGs: What can we do?

Help establish MDGs at the core of national poverty reduction plansIntegrate MDG financing in national budgetsProvide technical support to governmentsIncrease public investment in long term MDG plansPlan across all sectors and integrate Human Rights Build capacities within countries systematically with a long-term horizon through to 2015Track progress through disaggregated data Mobilize communities through advocacy

Encourage countries to take the MDGs seriously as operational objectives and integrate them with national development plans (PRSPs, PRSs, etc).

Help countries to produce an MDGs needs assessment through 2015 and a corresponding 10-year policy framework. This framework should then guide the more detailed and shorter term MDG-based poverty reduction strategy.

MDG targets will form the central objectives of PRSP instead of the usual macro-economic targets (e.g. inflation and budget deficit). The latter are a means towards an end, not an end by themselves. PRSP then becomes an agreed roadmap for reaching the targets.

Most low income countries require technical support from the international system to put forward scaled-up investment plans to achieve the goals.

Engage the general public in monitoring progress on the MDGs. Ensure that monitoring data is fed back into the advocacy strategies, programmes and policies.

Team Building around the Goals Purpose

Method: Individual interactions Timing: 15 minutes or more depending on the number of participants What you will need: One copy of the goals box sheet per participant

Suitable for: UNCT and/or national partners

When to use: As an opening session in a longer training


Describe the purpose.

Give each participant a goals box sheet.

Tell them to fill the goal boxes with names of people who work for, or feel an affinity towards the goal, as they move around the room connecting with people.

They have to connect with as many people as they can in 15 minutes. One person can work or feel affinity towards several goals.

Module

1 Module1 Activity 2

This is an activity for introducing group members through the goals they support

Learn Who’s who among the participants and which goals do they personally relate to

5

After 15 minutes stop the activity and ask:

Which goal or goals do most people feel an affinity towards? Why is this?

Which goals were blank and why?

What does an empty goal box tell us about the goal?

You may find that the goals most people are interested in are those that are significant within the national context or a particular community.

Goal- affinity may change according to the group you use it with. It is a way of connecting to people through the goals that are most personal to them.

Important!

The belief that the poor have rights needs to be strengthened and discussed - and not just in this activity.

Raise awareness that the poor have rights Be able to list claim- holders and duty- bearers for each Millennium Development Goal

9

NOTE: Millennium Development Goals and Human Rights The poor have needs: but they also have rights – entitlements that give rise to legal and moral obligations on the part of others. Poverty reduction becomes a legal obligation. This recognition of the existence of legal entitlements of the poor and legal obligations of others towards them is the first step towards empowerment. Human Rights principles guide programming in all sectors such as education governance, nutrition, water and sanitation, HIV/Aids, employment and labour relations and social and economic security. This includes all development cooperation directed towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and the Millennium Declaration.

NOTE: Millennium Development Goals and Human Rights (continued) The obligations deriving from rights may be analyzed by reference to the duties to respect, protect and fulfill. The duty to respect requires the duty-bearer not to breach directly or indirectly the enjoyment of any human right. The duty to protect requires the duty-bearer to take measures that prevent third parties from abusing the right. The duty to fulfill requires the duty-bearer to adopt appropriate legislative, administrative, fiscal and other measures towards the full realization of human rights. Development cooperation contributes to the development of the capacities of “duty bearers” to meet their obligations and/or of the “rights- holders” to claim their rights. Example: Claim- holders and duty bearers to the Right to education. Claim Holders are girls and boys, while the Duty Bearers are Ministry of education, parliamentarians, local authorities, teachers and parents.

This exercise canbe used for developing a strategy for MDG achievement or for any other purpose

Learn:

How to develop a strategic action plan

16


The SWOT Analysis & Action Plan may be used to examine the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats for achieving the MDGs. It can be done to develop a strategy for achieving one goal or the MDGs in general. Prior experience with facilitating a SWOT exercise is likely to be very useful.

Introduce the purpose and the rules of brainstorming. You will generate lists of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Do the SWOT with the entire group. Rules of Brainstorming Brainstorming is used to generate ideas, no critical remarks are allowed, and evaluation is done later after ideas are listed. Quantity is good. The “wilder” the idea the better.

Begin a SWOT Analysis and Action Plan Use four separate sheets of paper titled STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES,

OPPORTUNITIES and THREATS

Begin with Strengths, and without undue examination and critical evaluation, list every strength you can think of. Include significant

Module1 Activity 5

Module1 Activity 5

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES

OPPORTUNITIES THREATS

17

strengths, talents, and advantages as well as seemingly insignificant ones that relate to achieving the goal.

Now, prioritize these strengths from most important to least important, as

related to goal achievement. Re-copy your list so it reflects your priorities. Then put it aside for the time

being.

It helps to put these categories on large sheets of paper and post them within view of the entire group.

STRENGTHS BRAINSTORM!

PRIORITIZE YOUR STRENGTHS

RE COPY YOUR PRIORITIZED LIST WITH # 1 ON TOP

18

Next, move on to Weaknesses. It is important to note that “weaknesses” refers to INTERNAL or organizational weaknesses- not those that come from outside the organization (Those are threats). At the national level, weaknesses may include systems such as, public administration and lack of management capacity (Threats or external influences could be changes in the economy or civil unrest.)

Be brutally honest about weaknesses, listing both major weaknesses and

minor concerns that have the potential to become weaknesses. Again prioritize and re- copy. Put aside for the time being.

Now, it’s time for the fun part… without considering the strengths and

weaknesses you just listed, move on to Opportunities and really turn your mind and creativity loose. List every opportunity out there. These opportunities can be concrete or potential opportunities. Since opportunity almost always arrives in disguise and we often fail to recognize it, this is the time to dig deep; don’t spend time on the practicality or logistics of the opportunities, just list as MANY as possible. Again, prioritize as much as possible from the “most immediate” and “concrete” to the potentials/ possibilities.

Finally take a look at Threats. As mentioned, threats are EXTERNAL or at

least are caused by external circumstances. As with opportunities, list both immediate and pressing threats and those “on the horizon” or potential threats. Don’t take time to debate or analyze these threats now. Just list them. Prioritize and re- copy.

Develop Strategic Action Plan Once your analysis is in place, it’s time to develop your STRATEGIC ACTION

PLAN. Place all four pieces of your SWOT analysis in front of the group, if the same issue surfaces in more than one category, that’s okay
