The document discusses lessons learned from implementing the Millennium Development Goals and priorities for supporting countries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. It outlines that successful SDG implementation will require mobilizing private sector financing at large scale, generating and using comprehensive data to track progress, and developing integrated multi-sectoral solutions. The World Bank Group aims to help countries by leveraging resources to attract more private investment, supporting data systems, and preparing implementation strategies that sequence policies across development areas.
Implementation of the 2030 Development Agenda

- 2. Outline • There are lessons to be learned from the experience with the Millennium Development Goals • What are critical areas that one should be aware of for successful attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? • What is the role of the WBG in supporting countries implement the SDGs? 1

- 4. The MDG process has generally had a positive impact on development • ODA increased from $80b in 2000 to $135b in 2013 (in constant 2012 $) • For various MDGs, progress accelerated sharply after adoption of the Millennium Declaration and the Monterrey Consensus. 3
- 5. Synergies across MDGs are important 4
- 6. Lessons from the MDGs: Acceleration and Implementation • Important to find mechanisms that incentivize countries, UN system, IFIs, NGOs, and private sector to implement beneficial actions. • For example: MDG acceleration at the UN Chief Executive Board for coordination • 17 countries discussed under chairmanship of UN SG • Improve collaboration among UN Agencies and the WBG • A few results: • less poverty in Tanzania through an expanded cash transfer program • less fragmentation in programs dealing with stunting in Loa PDR • more focused interventions in Pakistan to address the large # of kids out of school 5
- 7. Some megatrends that will affect attainment of the SDGs Several megatrends will pose challenges and opportunities for the attainment of the SDGs: • Global connectedness • Center of economic gravity • Technological change and its adoption. • Urbanization • Demographic trends • Impact of human activity on climate change 6
- 8. What is the WBG doing to support country implementation? • Three interrelated areas to focus on: • Financing for development – Collaborating with the MDBs on leveraging and de-risking projects to entice private sector participation in development finance; • Data for development – Rising to the challenge of a data revolution • Preparing for implementation – Developing integrated solutions and prioritizing the sequencing of policy and programs 7
- 9. Financing for development: the Addis Ababa Action Agenda • While ODA will remain critical, especially for countries in special situations: • ODA alone can not finance the programs and projects needed to achieve the SDGs • Private sector needs to be brought on board to help finance the needed programs and projects • IFIs (incl. WBG) can play a catalytic role by leveraging their knowledge and financial resources to attract private resources, incl. new partnerships 8
- 10. Net financial flows to developing countries Source: World Development Indicators (WDI), International Debt Statistics (IDS) and OECD Statistics • Financial flows to developing countries stand at around $1.6 trillion. Not enough to finance SDGs. • ODA has remained steady, at around 10% of financial flows. Private sector resources have increased tenfold since 2000. Remittances also grown considerably Entry of new players – BRICS and philanthropy. 9

- 12. Data for development: Rising to the challenge of a data revolution • Data is becoming a development issue in its own right • Data revolution will be critical • Data is needed for: • Evidence based policy making • Measuring progress toward the SDGs • Monitoring and accountability • MoU with UN and other IFIs • WBG is an anchor partner in the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data 11
- 13. Preparing for implementation: Developing integrated solutions • Universality and all-encompassing nature of the SDGs means that many of the SDGs are dependent on one another • Integrated solutions are a must • Prioritization for the purpose of proper sequencing of programs and projects is needed • Implementing the SDGs and the new World Development Report 12

- 16. Concluding remarks • Successful implementation of the SDGs is the world’s best opportunity to end poverty and protect the planet, while leaving no-one behind • It requires a few transformative shifts: • Its financing requires private sector participation on an unprecedented scale • It needs the generation and use of data to inform policy and measure the results • And involves integrated and cross-sectoral approaches to implementation across all sectors and agencies 15
