- MDG_Achievement_Fund abstract "The Millennium Development Goals Achievement Fund (MDG-F) is an international cooperation mechanism that is committed to eradicating poverty and inequality and to accelerating progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) worldwide.Its aim is to improve livelihoods and to influence public policy, making it more responsive to the needs of the poorest populations.Established in 2007 through an agreement between the Government of Spain and the United Nations Development Programme on behalf of the UN system, the MDG-F has operated in 50 countries, working through more than 27 United Nations agencies in collaboration with citizens, civil society organizations and local, regional and national governments to target vulnerable groups and tackle multidimensional development challenges.With a total contribution of approximately USD 900 million, the MDG-F has financed 130 joint programmes around the world, in eight areas: Children, Food Security and Nutrition; Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment; Environment and Climate Change; Youth, Employment and Migration; Democratic Economic Governance; Development and the Private Sector; Conflict Prevention and Peace-Building; and Culture and Development.The MDG-F has three main objectives: to spur achievement of the MDGs by working across multiple sectors within target countries; to boost the effectiveness of international aid by increasing national leadership and ownership of development programmes; and to promote the “One UN” concept, the consolidation and streamlining of the UN’s work at country level to speed up development operations and avoid duplication.As one of the largest international cooperation mechanisms devised to achieve the MDGs, the MDG-F’s distinguishing approach is that it addresses development issues at multiple levels, combining the capacity to influence national-level policies with pilot projects that directly benefit citizens. In the area of gender equality, the MDG-F pioneered a dual strategy that involves both programmes that directly promote gender equality and women’s empowerment, and, simultaneously, the mainstreaming of gender considerations within all the Fund’s other programmatic areas.".
