Nepal’s commitment to the MDGs over the past
decade has been impressive despite prolonged
instability and low growth. The preparation of
the MDG Acceleration Framework is yet another
example of the importance Nepal attaches to this
global effort.
The MDG Acceleration Framework is a product of
the renewed commitment by global leaders on
the MDGs at a UN high level summit in 2010. The
Framework aims to quicken progress on ‘off-track’
MDGs in a given country. The Framework offers
a systematic way of addressing bottlenecks and
implementing high-impact solutions in a concrete
plan of action with roles defined for all development
partners in the country. The Action Plan builds upon
existing knowledge and experience, as well as incountry
policy and planning processes.
