MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS

• United Nations Development Programme

 WHAT ARE THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT
GOALS?

• The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight goals to be

achieved by 2015 that respond to the world's main development
challenges.
•
The MDGs are drawn from the actions and targets contained in the
Millennium Declaration that was adopted by 189 nations-and
signed by 147 heads of state and governments during the
UN Millennium Summit in September 2000.

 GLOBAL COMMITMENT TO THE
MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS

• In September 2000, one hundred and eighty- nine

UN member-countries -- rich and poor alike --
reaffirmed their commitment to peace and security,
good governance, and attention to the most
vulnerable with the adoption of the Millennium
Declaration.
 GLOBAL COMMITMENT TO THE
MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS

• Containing commitments to achieve the eight MDGs

and the specific targets under them by 2015, the
Millennium Declaration reflects the vision of entire
nations, working together with international and
country-based organizations, to wipe out poverty and
the worst forms of human deprivation, and lay the
foundations for sustainable human development by the
year 2015.
 GLOBAL COMMITMENT TO THE
MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS

• The overarching need is to ensure that the MDGs are

integrated into and given top priority in each
committed country's development planning efforts:
with efficient monitoring, localization, and advocacy
systems put in place; crucial financing secured;
multisectoral support mobilized; and an enabling
environment created with an MDG-responsive policy
framework and legislation.
 PHILIPPINE COMMITMENT TO THE MILLENNIUM
DEVELOPMENT GOALS

• Since the Philippines first resolved to adopt the

MDGs, it has made encouraging strides, particularly
towards the attainment of targets on reducing
extreme poverty; child mortality; the incidence of
HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria; on improving
gender equality in education; and improving
households' adequate dietary intake as well as
access to safe drinking water.
• Underpinning these gains are two facts. First, the MDGs have been
tightly integrated into the Medium- Term Philippine Development
Plan (MTPDP) 2004-2010, thus allowing government strategies,
policies and action plans to simultaneously address national and
MDG targets.
• Second, the government has continually closely monitored its own
rate of progress in MDG indicators, and used this information to
fine-tune its planning and implementation, especially to ensure
effective implementation at the local level.
• Nevertheless, serious challenges and threats
remain with regard to targets on maternal
health, access to reproductive health services,
nutrition, primary education, and
environmental sustainability. And glaring
disparities across regions persist, as do severe
funding constraints.
• The overall probability of attaining the targets
remains high, though dependent largely on the
confluence of several factors, among them: scaling
up of current efforts on all target areas; more
efficient synchronization and allocation of available
limited resources, including mobilization of
additional resources; and stronger advocacy for and
enhanced capability to implement the MDGs at the
local level.

 Three Dimensions of Sustainable Development
• Sustainable development has been defined as development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs.
• For sustainable development to be achieved, it is crucial to harmonize three core
elements: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.
