The MDG Achievement Fund

Unverified non-profit organisation

The MDG Achievement Fund is an international cooperation mechanism whose aim is to accelerate progress on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) worldwide. It supports national governments, local authorities and citizen organizations in their efforts to tackle poverty and inequality.
The Fund works through the UN on all its country programmes, and with dozens of governmental and nongovernmental organizations ranging from farmer associations to national alliances and ministries; this ensures that development processes are owned and driven locally. With the aim of improving aid effectiveness, all MDG-F-financed programmes build on the collective strength of the UN, bringing several agencies together to address issues that cut across the mandate of individual organizations. The MDG-Fund will support poverty-reduction efforts, promoting the kind of development which enhances individual and collective rights, capacities and opportunities.
