A few years away from the deadline of 2015, the MDG Acceleration Framework (MAF), as conceived and endorsed by the United Nations (UN), aims at accelerating and sustaining progress towards the MDGs’ achievement at the national level. The strategic approach of the MAF is to identify and analyze the bottlenecks that are causing the MDGs to be off-track/ or to advance too slowly. The MAF methodology helps countries to identify and prioritize bottlenecks, which interfere with the implementation of key MDG interventions, and to draw from country experiences and lessons learned to identify objective and feasible solutions for unlocking the bottlenecks and accelerating MDG progress. The analysis of the reasons behind the bottlenecks helps to identify possible solutions (with clear roles and responsibilities) to accelerate the MDG progress. In fact, it intends to build on the existing partnership with all relevant stakeholders to jointly achieve MDG progress. The outcome of the MAF process is an Action Plan that complements ongoing activities and proposes short-term solutions that are feasible and likely to have the greatest impact if implemented successfully.
In sum, the MAF exercise helps to:- i) select key priority development issues or MDG goals and targets that are lagging behind ii) identify and prioritize strategic interventions considered high impact, that are required for achieving the identified goal/s and target iii) identify and prioritize the bottlenecks that prevent priority strategic interventions from being successfully and effectively implemented iv) identify and prioritize actionable, short-term and cost-effective solutions to address the bottlenecks and fast-track the achievement of the selected MDG target v) develop a country Action Plan for the implementation of the identified solutions, which identifies stakeholders and resources responsible for its implementation vi) implement and monitor the country Action Plan to ensure the required impact.
