This MDG good practice publication presents a list of various constraints and challenges to the achievement of the MDGs, which each good practice has addressed in a national and/or local context. The publication does not claim to be an exhaustive list of ‘best practices’ with self-claimed objectivity. Instead, it presents a diverse range of nationally-led programmes, policy interventions, and/or locally-tailored support to address those specific challenges. It is hoped that this publication will serve as a practical reference to context–specific approaches addressing these constraints.
