10 Key Recommendations

Recommendation 6

Developing country governments should align national strategies with such regional initiatives as the New Partnership for Africa's Development and the Caribbean Community (and Common Market), and regional groups should receive increased direct donor support for regional projects. Regional development groups should:

Be supported to identify, plan, and implement high-priority cross-border infrastructure projects (roads, railways, watershed management).
Receive direct donor support to implement cross-border projects.
Be encouraged to introduce and implement peer-review mechanisms to promote best practices and good governance.

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.
