Asia-Pacific MDG Study Series
The studies in this series have been published by ESCAP/ADB/UNDP in a joint project on MDGs in Asia and the Pacific. They look at key drivers which have propelled MDG achievements in the region, and which are likely to remain important in the region’s quest for reaching the Goals by 2015. They focus specifically on three areas where increased and sustained policy attention would be required: hunger and food security; health and basic services; and basic infrastructure. The series is a resource which policy makers, development practitioners and other stakeholders should find useful in achieving the MDGs.

Technology, finance and statistics for sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific (Asia-Pacific regional MDG report 2014/15)
Feb 2015
Book
The end of 2015 is the target for the Millennium Development Goals. As MDGs come to a close and a post-2015 agenda takes shape, to be formulated as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this report focuses on three key issues for implementation of this new agenda: technology, finance and statistics. It argues that priority should be given to identify and disseminate the most productive technologies; the necessary investment for sustainable development should come from a diverse range of sources, including public and private, domestic and international; and supported by statistics that should serve as a launching pad for evidence-based policymaking. The report has been produced by ESCAP, ADB and UNDP and it is a result of wide consultation among policymakers, development practitioners and other stakeholders throughout the Asia-Pacific Region. Other United Nations organizations, funds and programmes participating in the Regional Coordination Mechanism have also contributed.

Accelerating Equitable Achievement of the MDGs - Closing Gaps in Health and Nutrition Outcomes
Oct 2013
Book
Chapter 1, Taking stock of updated MDG status and trends, present the MDG progress in the Asia-Pacific region using the “traffic lights” method demonstrating the slow progress, off-track, on-track and early achiever MDG targets, highlighting the progress and challenges among countries in the region. The analysis will lead to the theme of the present report—concerns regarding inadequate progress on health-related MDG targeted. Part one of Chapter 2, Disparities in health-related MDG achievements, between and within countries Average achievements mask disparities, will contain an analysis of health-nutrition related disparities between country in levels and trends. Part two will cover within country disparities. Detailed analysis on priority issues of health, nutrition, water and sanitation will be presented highlighting disparities-inequalities between countries as well as within countries. Chapter 3, Analysis of policy approaches, will bring together the current state of play on how health related MDG targets are being addressed by countries in the region. Focus would also be on policy successes (and failures). Ground level evidence from the Asia-Pacific region, including good practices at the sub-national levels will be analyzed and highlighted for possible scale up and replication. Inputs from among UN and technical partner agencies were sought. Chapter 4, Conclusions and way forward, summarizes the main issues and recommendations for more equal MDG outcomes in the run up to 2015.
