• Momentum is building around the Millennium
  Development Goals (MDGs) within the UN family
  and across the world. They are the focus of our
  participation at this year's global conferences
  the International Conference on Financing for
  Development recently held in Monterrey and the
  World Conference on Sustainable Development in
  Johannesburg in August and September. They are
  integral to our mission. For this reason we need
  a clear understanding of how the MDGs are a part
  of our work at the country level.
• The MDGs comprise ambitious global targets for
  2015 set by leaders from around the world at the
  2000 UN Millennium Summit. They include
  
• Halving extreme poverty and hunger
• Achieving universal primary education
• Promoting gender equality
• Reducing under-five mortality by two-thirds
• Reducing maternal mortality by three-quarters
• Reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB

• Developing a global partnership for development,
  with targets for aid, trade and debt relief
  
• Ensuring environmental sustainability
• The MDGs can be achieved globally but a large
  majority of countries are unlikely to reach them
  without concerted support from the international
  community, including resources, policy advice and
  advocacy.
• Because they grow out of development goals
  agreed on by the international community in the
  1990s, the MDGs take 1990 as their benchmark and
  they reflect longstanding priorities, beginning
  with poverty reduction.  As we work with partners
  inside and outside the UN to build a campaign in
  support of the MDGs, it is important to remember
  this continuity.
• You are going to see a short presentation of
  possible scenarios for Burkina Faso. It is
  important to note that the projections are still
  preliminary although they are taken from existing
  strategic frameworks such as the PRSP and the UN
  Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF).

• UNDP, like the World Bank, the IMF and the rest
  of the UN system of agencies are strongly
  committed to placing MDGs at the centre of
  national development priorities. However, MDGs
  need to be placed in the national context and
  global targets and timing cannot be imposed on
  countries. The HIV-AIDS pandemic will have a
  profound impact on several of the goals, such as
  mortality, school enrolment, nutrition, income
  and poverty. Processes like the PRSP can help
  define national targets that are ambitious but
  that remain feasible. Otherwise, MDGs may lead
  to a perception of failure among actors who may
  then become defensive, and to finger pointing for
  inadequate performance. We must ensure that MDGs
  do not escalate in such negativity.
• Our purpose is therefore to present a possible
  and realistic scenario for Burkina Faso, for
  discussion.
