The Millennium Development Goals, Capacity Building, and the Role of the IMF

Dalia Hakura and Saleh Nsouli

No 2003/119, IMF Working Papers from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) represent a global commitment to improve economic and social conditions in low-income countries. Capacity building is key to promoting higher economic growth, which, in turn, is an important prerequisite for making progress toward the MDGs. This paper uses the UNDP's emerging framework for capacity building to show how the IMF supports capacity building at the individual, organizational, and the system level, thereby contributing to the efforts of countries to meeting the MDGs.
