Progress towards the specific goals

Progress has also been disproportionate in relation to the Goals.

The Millennium Development Goals must no longer be floating targets, referred to now and then to measure progress.

Progress in meeting human rights and gender targets

(g) The country strategy note has neglected to set targets, time frames and development indicators to assess progress

(c) to report regularly to the Executive Board on progress towards achievement of global immunization targets.

While the regional commissions are working with the member countries on the Millennium Development Goals, their progress with respect to different Goals varies considerably.

We have thoroughly reviewed progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the reform process facing the United Nations.

Progress toward realizing the Millennium Development Goals in much of Africa has been disappointing.

The objectives of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), to which we fully subscribe, are a point of reference for developmental strategies and for assessing progress.

For each KPI, baselines and targets are or will be set and progress towards achievement will be monitored.

Each target has one or more specific statistical indicators to be used to monitor progress.

The objectives, the work programme and the progress of the work are documented at http comelec.afnor.fr cen wsei.

Table

Nearly three quarters of the sector specific indicators for measuring progress on the Millennium Development Goals relate to these areas.

First, it is unclear whether the current progress of least developed countries on these goals should be compared with the current progress of other developing countries or with their progress in 2001.

D. Developing indicators to monitor progress

As a consequence, effective monitoring of progress towards achievement of MDGs is first and foremost dependent on the availability of national or country level data.

(i) Mandating the Economic and Social Council to hold annual ministerial level assessments of progress towards agreed development goals, particularly the Millennium Development Goals

With regard to the attainment of the MDGs and other goals, there was grave concern that recent reviews of the status of implementation had indicated that progress had been woefully inadequate.

4. Indicators to measure the implementation of the Convention

20. The working group will meet annually to review progress and to formulate its objectives and strategy.

Accordingly, the Secretary General's report should have included more specific targets, benchmarks and time limits for the purpose of monitoring progress.

To this end, the Economic and Social Council should hold annual ministerial level assessments of progress towards agreed development goals, particularly the Millennium Development Goals.

Some countries expressed the view that the monitoring of progress towards the Millennium Development Goals should be carried out by the national bodies concerned.

Reporting systems will allow local management of progress towards MTSP targets with regional and global oversight.

To that end, the Fund must refine its indicators of achievement and monitor progress towards targets, just as other parts of the Organization did.

The findings of experts in examining the achievement of some of the Millennium Development Goals are frightening.

74. Implementation of project activities proceeded satisfactorily and met defined objectives in terms of beneficiary targeting and outreach services.

(d) To promote proper representation of persons belonging to racial and ethnic groups in the police and the system of justice

The High level Plenary Meeting of the sixtieth session of the General Assembly, which is to undertake a comprehensive review of the progress made in the fulfilment of all the commitments contained in the Millennium Declaration, would be an opportunity to give careful attention to progress made in achieving Goal 3 on gender equality and the empowerment of women, as well as progress in women's equality with men in relation to the other Millennium Development Goals and related indicators.

I would like to review these objectives with you and your colleagues, and to assess briefly how far we have moved toward accomplishing them.

It is an honour to participate in this Meeting, where we are considering the extent to which the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have been achieved in an effort to create a world of prosperity and progress.

Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that the formulation of the Goals and the process of monitoring progress in realizing them have been silent or not sufficiently explicit on human rights and the right to development.

(d) Preparation, in collaboration with ESCAP members, of regional and subregional agreements that facilitate the movement of goods and people

We believe that the international community, given the world's current level of development, has the means to promote the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals.

In order to monitor implementation, periodic budget performance reviews were conducted that included reporting by programme managers on progress in achieving the programme objectives specified in the budget.

Periodic reporting will remain the primary mechanism for reviewing progress in relation to organizational targets, performance standards and results for children.

Overview of preparations for the five year review of the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals and the September 2005 Summit

All the bodies concerned should be asked to formulate clear objectives in that respect and to monitor progress on an annual basis.

Information about the Millennium Development Goals was also a priority a chart, which would be constantly updated, had been developed to show progress towards meeting each goal and target broken down by region and level of attainment.

(c) report to the tenth session of the Committee on the work undertaken, with special emphasis on impact indicators.

The summit just held on progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) was not as successful as we had hoped it would be.

A world fit for children emphasizes the importance of monitoring progress towards the adopted goals.

In particular, there was little indication of the quality of output expected to be achieved, or how progress towards the achievement of objectives should be measured.
