Background of the MDGs • In the Year 2000, 189 members of the United Nations signed the

Millennium Declaration.

• Commitment to reduce extreme poverty by creating an environment conducive to development.

• The Declaration resolved to put in place actions that will lead to marked improvements in the human conditions by 2015.

Developing Countries Developed countries

To better manage their resources To increase development assistance at least up to the 0.7% of their Gross National Income

To address the debt issue

To improve governance

To improve terms and conditions of trade

To facilitate technology transfer to developing countries

Back ground of MDGs cont…

• However 8 Goals with 21 specific targets and 60 indicators became the Cornerstone of the Millennium Declaration .

• The goals form Universally Accepted Development Bench marks for developing countries

In Kenya,

• MDGs in Kenya date back to the sessional paper no.10 of 1965 which focused on the elimination of poverty, disease and ignorance.

• Subsequent government policy documents have since then focused on mainstreaming MDGs into policy, planning and

budgeting process.

Overview of MDGs process in Kenya

• Kenya started implementation of MDGs in september2002 and the MDGs based planning was launched in 2004.

• Mainstreaming MDGs in Kenya has been done under two themes;

“Mainstreaming MDGs in Kenya’s Development Process” - 2004-2009.

“ Mainstreaming, accelerating and coordinating MDGs in Kenya’s development process”-2011-2013

• A Needs Assessment Study was carried out in 2005 to establish the resources required to achieve the MDGs by 2015; The financing gap stood at Ksh 4.1 trillion

• The Needs Assessment informed on the need for an aggressive mainstreaming and advocacy campaign for the MDGS.

MDGs Based Planning in Kenya • The Economic Recovery Strategy(ERS) of 2002-2007 addressed

most of MDGs through recognition of key Economic sectors.

• Kenya’s Vision 2030 incorporated the MDGs. The first Medium Term Plan (MTP 2008-2012) aimed at accelerating the achievements of MDGs by redirecting spending to high priority areas.

• Sector Plans 2008-2012 which were drawn from the Vision2030 and its 1st MTP also mainstreamed MDGs.

• Corresponding District Development Plans also ensured that local level planning and budgeting in all districts was responsive to the MDGs.

• NIMES the tool used for tracking & reporting on Vision 2030 flagship projects, also reports on MDGs through sector reporting.

Mainstreaming MDGs in to County Profiles

and MTP II • The Vision 2030 is a long term national policy framework to be

implemented through 5 year medium term plans.

• The just launched MTP II process will incorporate MDGs and their targets.

• Interim County development plans are expected to mirror image of the Kenya Vision 2030 at the county level and are expected to ensure that local level planning and budgeting in all counties is responsive to MDGs

Linkage between MDGs and Vision 2030 Pillar Aim/Objective Millenium Development Goal

Economic Pillar To maintain a 10% economic growth rate annually.

1. To eradicate extreme poverty and hunger 3. To achieve gender equality and empower women 8. To build Global partnerships for development

2. Achieve universal primary education 4. Reduce child mortality 5. Improve Maternal health 6. Combat HIV/AIDs Malaria and other diseases 7. Ensure environmental sustainability.

Political pillar To strengthen rule of law and ensure good governance in the country.

Millenium Declaration that Developing countries will spare no effort to promote democracy and strengthen the rule of law, respect internationally recognized human rights and fundamental freedoms, including right to development.

Current Status of MDGs in Kenya Tracking and reporting on MDGs

• MDGs implementation is monitored goal by goal every two years.

• Reports prepared in 2003,2005,2007,2009 and 2011 status report is almost being finalized.

• These reports are important in giving the status of each goal against given targets and indicators.

Goal 1- Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger

• The proportion of people living below the poverty reduced from 52% in 2000 to 46% in 2006 .

• Indications are that, the current poverty rate may be lower than 46.6% by 2011 although the set target for 2015 is 26%.

Goal is unlikely to be met by 2015

GOAL 2; Achieve Universal Primary Education

With the launch of FPE (Free Primary Education) in 2003 the country is on track to achieve universal primary education

• Gross enrolments ratios rose from 88 % in 2002 to 115%in 2011.

• Primary to secondary school transition rate also improved from 67% in 2009 to 73% in 2011

• Net enrolment rates rose from 92.9% in 2009 to 95.7% in 2011.

• Gender parity has also been achieved in the enrolment rates.

• The constitution of Kenya has put basic education as a right for every school age going child

• The cabinet recently approved a bill that guarantees free ECD,Primary and Secondary Education.

Trimester Period Focus Major Activities

MDGs Trimesters cont’d…..

Role of Civil Society and Private Sector • Advocacy and sensitization

• Fast tracking and acceleration

• Participation in present and post 2015 MDGs debate

• Mobilization of resources • Domestic

• Foreign

• Lobby for Budgetary Allocations

Challenges of achieving MDGs in Kenya • Inadequate resources for financing MDGs in the country -

2005 Needs Assessment found a 4.1 trillion funding need for MDGs

• High Prices of food stuff and farm inputs.

• Inability of developed countries to avail 0.7% of GNI in financial resources for MDGs in developing countries as agreed in the Millennium Declaration.

• Slow technological transfer especially in food production from developed countries to developing countries.

• Inadequate data for tracking & reporting on MDGs

• Effects of climate change

• regional disparities on some MDGs.

Conclusion • In the recently launched MTP II MDGs are going to be

mainstreamed in all sectors.

• MDGs are going to be mainstreamed in the on going interim County Profiles

• Increased allocation of devolved funds to counties will accelerate achievement of MDGs.

• MDGs Acceleration Framework(MAF) will enhance achievement of goals lagging behind.

• There is need to carry out advocacy on MDGS mainstreaming in all counties.

• County planning and budgeting process should prioritise and put more resources to sectors that can spur achievement of MDGs.
