Asia-Pacific Regional MDG Road Map 2008-2015

Abstract

The main objective of the regional MDG road map is to provide a framework for ‘delivering as one’ – in the form of a regional partnership – in adding value to national development strategies and processes in the ‘off-track’ countries and in those below the Asian average in achieving the MDGs. In identifying these countries, both the trends and the absolute levels of their performance have been considered. Attention is also given to ‘on-track’ countries so that they do not fall behind, and lessons learnt from their successful experiences can be studied and disseminated. It should be emphasized that this is not a road map for the countries to reach its MDG targets. Each country, given its own circumstances, is expected to have in place a variety of development strategies, plans and programmes. The regional MDG road map takes these policies, strategies and processes as ‘given’ and aims to add value to national-level efforts by regional-level action.
