Global partnership for development (MDG 8) Slide 10

The way forward…. … renewed commitment to the attainment of the MDGs by 2015 and delivering better results of global, regional and national partnerships for development We need to review our strategy and accelerate implementation Consideration of the MDGs as a holistic framework instead of treating each development goal independently: Its elements are linked in a systemic manner and therefore integrative policy response should be designed Pursuing equity-focused approaches more strongly (i.e. equal access and chances, concern for most vulnerable groups) will accelerate progress towards the attainment of the MDGs and be more cost-effective Accelerating of development and implementation of legislation on equal rights and equal opportunities in all areas (i.e. economic participation, social protection) Mainstreaming the MDGs into national policies (i.e. national poverty reduction strategies) Dedication of resources (i.e. honoring the agreed ODA commitments)
