MDG Country RoadmapPrinciples

Secure political will

Identify and empower the governmental agency in charge of piloting the process

Involve all stakeholders

Support coalitions and partnerships to pilot and share responsibilities in implementing the action plan

Link the roadmap to national budget planning process, i.e. PRSP, MTEF.

Build on current programs and look for complementarities with other sectors (i.e. IWRM, health, environment, education, etc. )

3 crucial parameters to reach MDGs in Africa

INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS ONGOING IN 39 COUNTRIES Governance improvement : NEPAD, PPP, domestic private sector, civil society,

decentralization, regional integration Need to support and sustain reforms

FINANCING SYSTEMS ARE FUNDAMENTAL Non viable financing mechanisms, strongly depending on external aid (>80%) New approach for development aid: more focused on poverty reduction; need to

fix institutions before investment; debt cancellation, budget support; new financial resources

MDGs financing strategy provides room for innovation

CAPACITY IS KEY FOR PERFORMANCE Weakness of public sector, « providential » government Programmatic approach, decentralization, SME and DPS participation, et

consumers et users consultation are the new opportunities for capacity development

Opportunity to encourage programmatic approaches, and improve the use of private sector and consumers resources
