Country-level processes to achieve the Goals

To enable all countries to achieve the MDGs, the world must treat them not as abstract ambitions but as practical policy objectives. The practical steps to achieve the Goals in each country can and should be diagnosed, planned, and implemented with the proper focus and actions, combined with suitable support from the international community. Many well governed developing -countries are poised to make dramatic progress beginning in 2005�if their development partners deliver on long-standing promises to increase assistance.

As of Jan 1, 2007, the advisory work formerly carried out by the Millennium Project secretariat team is being continued by an MDG Support team integrated under the United Nations Development Program.
