Millennium Development Goals in Kenya
MDGs and Links with other national Planning Tools and Frameworks
The MDGs report will obviously relate to other country-level reports, although the different reports have distinct purposes, timing and content. It should, however, as a matter of principle, draw from existing reports and inform the other national reports, whether prepared by government, UN agencies (collectively or individually) and other partners. For example, depending on agreements reached between the government and partners, as well as the sequencing of work, it is possible that the MDGR could precede other reports and, therefore, provide an indispensable basis for their preparation.
The use of nationally-owned poverty reduction strategies reflected in the Economic recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation (ERS) and the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP), together with development partner planning frameworks such as the UN's Common Country Assessment (CCA), the World Banks CAS, etc., that emphasize a consultative process is encouraged. It is also possible that in-between the preparation of the MDG report, the Annual Progress Report on the ERS can be used as a tool for interim monitoring of progress towards the MDGs. This implies that the ERS takes the MDGs into consideration and that the preparation of the ERS Annual Report will actively involve other partners.
