UNDP supports MDG-based national development strategies

The UN System is helping countries improve their capacity to achieve the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs). To support this effort, UNDP and the Millennium Project have
designed a comprehensive set of services to support MDG-based national development
strategies. These services focus on three pillars:

 MDG-based diagnostics and investment planning (technical and financial assistance

needed to achieve the MDGs over the long term);
 Widening policy options and choices (sectoral and cross-sectoral policy reforms and
frameworks needed to accelerate growth with equity and promote long-term human
development); and
 Strengthening national capacity (enable effective service delivery at the national and
local levels).
