The document outlines the history and goals of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It discusses the 8 goals, 18 targets, and 60 indicators established by the UN. It provides an overview of progress on the MDGs in South Asia, noting achievements in reducing poverty, improving education and health. However, it also notes areas still lagging like empowering women in Afghanistan and Pakistan. For Pakistan specifically, it analyzes progress against each goal and indicators, finding that only 2 targets have been achieved so far. Barriers to progress are identified as both internal challenges like low growth, and external factors like natural disasters. Localization and community involvement are emphasized as important for accelerating progress.

60. LOCALIZATION should be first.
“To accelerate the progress towards the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs), it is necessary to localize the MDGs - to translate the
national goals into goals that are relevant, applicable and attainable at
the local level. MDGs need to be meaningful for people living in these
communities, so that they have ownership of their development
plans, can hold their governments accountable and are involved in
local action to achieve these goals”

62. How can the UN be assured that we are following the
MDGs?
 UNDP works with its partners to support governments through the




four steps of preparing an MDG-based national development
strategy:
Launching an inclusive planning process;
Reviewing existing strategies and defining the baseline;
Conducting a detailed, long-term assessment to estimate the
infrastructure, human resources, and financial requirements required
to achieve the MDGs;
Developing a short-to-medium-term national strategy drawing
upon the MDG needs assessment.

63. How will we know if the plans are working?
 The UN Development Group will act as ‘scorekeeper’ and
‘campaign manager’ for the MDGs.
 It will produce special reports on global progress every year
and comprehensive reports every five years. These reports will
remind the world when things are working and will point to
areas which need to be improved.
 The task is to spread awareness within the system and across
the world and to make the MDGs an essential part of the UN
system’s work.
