Millennium Development Goal 8: The State of the Global Partnership for Development- MDG Gap Task Force Report
|
The MDG Gap Task Force, an inter-agency collaboration created by the United Nations Secretary-General in 2007, is responsible for monitoring the policy commitments embodied in the Millennium Declaration and earlier international agreements, identified as the targets of Goal 8 of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). As previous reports of the Task Force indicate, there have been positive developments that point to an effective international partnership, but shortfalls in development cooperation highlight the need for a revitalized global partnership for development as the international community moves towards delivering a post-2015 development agenda. Several lessons can be drawn from monitoring Goal 8 that have implications for monitoring the global partnership for development under a new development agenda: first, there is a need to strengthen the linkages between Goal 8 and other goals; second, global monitoring of the partnership initiatives is an essential task; third, the successor to Goal 8 should periodically be reviewed for continued relevance; and fourth, efforts to attain the MDGs should not be confused with the broader, long-standing international commitment to foster sustainable development.In preparation for the post-2015 development agenda, discussions are being held to propose a comprehensive financing framework to underpin these development efforts. In order to make this a reality, a renewed political commitment to development cooperation is imperative.
