Title
UNDP - Beyond the Midpoint: Achieving the Millennium Development Goals

Abstract
We are now beyond the mid-point between adoption of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the target date of 2015. Despite progress towards achievement of some of the targets, numerous Goals and targets are likely to be missed unless additional, strengthened or corrective action is taken urgently. In light of a rapidly changing development environment and given a limited time frame for achieving the MDGa genda, UNDP initiated a forward-looking MDGr eview to assess where emphasis should be placed over the next several years to support partners to meet the agreed Millennium Development Goals. The principal objectives of this review were to assess the factors that shape MDG progress in a country, identify the bottlenecks and constraints that have slowed progress, and assess how UNDP can best support its development partners in their efforts to make the achievement of the MDGs a reality.
