Millennium development goals monitoring: challenges and opportunities for African countries
Abstract
This paper presents a number of issues and challenges confronting African NSSs in the delivery of quality statistics for monitoring the MDGs and suggests some potential remedial measures for these challenges. It is organized in six sections, beginning with this introduction.
The second section and third sections present the IAEG on MDG Indicators, followed by an
overview of the new framework of the MDG indicators, including the new targets and related indicators. The fourth section deals with challenges and potential remedial measures, while the
fifth section suggests the potential role of the United Nations regional commissions (RCs) in the MDG monitoring process. The final section concludes the paper.
