UNCDF Business Plan
The 2005-2007 Business Plan and implementation arrangements for the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) is an integral part of the wider United Nations effort in support of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Building on the UNCDF niche and comparative advantages, the plan foresees an expansion of UNCDF investments in and technical support to least developed countries (LDCs) in the areas of local development and microfinance, thus supporting an increased number of LDCs to achieve the MDGs by 2015.

Achieving MDGs in LDCs
Asia and the Pacific has often been portrayed as a thriving region which has successfully made broad-based and sustained inroads in poverty reduction. While the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) achievements in Asia and the Pacific generally surpass those in other poor areas, an overly broad appraisal of MDG progress in the region could be misleading as it does not reveal the less impressive track record of Least Developed Countries and Landlocked Developing Countries in Asia and the Pacific. In fact, an assessment of the MDG indicators shows that the LDCs and LLDCs in Asia and the Pacific are not much better off than those elsewhere. Strikingly, for some indicators, progress in achieving the MDGs is even slower in Asian and Pacific LDCs and LLDCs than in other ones.

Guide To MDG Based National Dev Strategies
This "How-to" Guide to MDG-based National Development Strategies helps to define what an MDG-based strategy is, a description of the steps involved in creating one, a summary of good practices, and a description of some pitfalls that should be avoided.
MDG: A Review Of Good Practices
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) represent a departure from past approaches in addressing poverty. By focusing on a core set of inter-related goals and targets, development partners will now more easily track progress and measure impact of development interventions. The MDGs provide an opportunity to mobilize partners into action, forge new alliances for development and build national capacity for monitoring and periodic reporting.
