5. WHAT IS THE MDG ACCELERATION FRAMEWORK?
Responding to national/local political determination to
tackle identified off-track MDGs
Drawing upon country experiences and ongoing processes to
identify and prioritize bottlenecks
interfering with the implementation of key
MDG interventions
Using knowledge-based good practices to determine
objective and feasible solutions for accelerating
MDG progress
Creating a partnership with identified roles for all relevant
stakeholders to jointly achieve MDG progress

9. MAF LESSONS ADDED VALUE
Government ownership and
coordination
Prioritizing within current
Expert MAF team – national investment plans
and external – for quality
and coherence Motivating cross-ministerial
collaboration
Cross-sectoral and cross-
ministerial engagement: Highlighting local solutions
UNCT involvement: UNDG Bringing together different
endorsement partners and stand-alone
activities
Anchoring in existing plans
Helping implement
Participation of local laws, roadmaps and policies
governments, CSOs and
NGOs Indicating how best to adapt
existing tools
Learning – but not
duplicating – across Addressing inequalities
countries
Attracting partner interest

10. MATERNAL HEALTH IN THE PHILIPPINES
• From 1990 to 2006, maternal deaths per
100,000 live births decreased from 209 to
162.
• But in 2010, it increased to 221
• According to the DOH, maternal mortality
was caused by three “delays”: (a) delay in
deciding to seek medical care; (b) delay
in reaching appropriate care; and (c)
delay in receiving care at health facilities.
2015 target is from 221 to 52---least likely to
be achieved

15. THE MAF VALUE ADDED FOR MATERNAL HEALTH
Changing the prevailing
political thinking: maternal
health is more than a health
issue, it’s a development
challenge (provide evidence to
show the strong linkages
between MDG 5 and other
MDGs).
Economic feasibility: investment returns are high – productivity
implications.
Identifying most effective actions in sectors (including non-health
sectors) that could contribute to accelerating maternal health.
Engage sectors on how to implement these actions within their
mandate.
Identify and provide incremental funding for these actions when
needed.
