This report presents the findings of the rapid assessment of the MDGRs that was conducted by the Evaluation Office (EO) of the UNDP between February and May 2003. The assessment was undertaken at the request of UNDP central units and Regional Bureaux (RBx) to examine the reporting processes in place and assess the quality, relevance and the value added of the MDGRs in order to assist UNDP and the United Nations Country Teams (UNCTs) to improve reporting on the progress being made towards the attainment of MDGs. It focuses on the following aspects of the MDGRs: (a) value added; (b) content and quality of the MDG R s; (c) country ownership; (d) capacity; (e) advocacy and dissemination; and (f) alignment and linkages with other country level reporting processes. The findings and recommendations of this assessment are intended to inform UNDP senior management, Country Offices (COs) and the UNCTs on how to improve the ‘product' and to strengthen the reporting processes at the country level.
