Resumen
Descripción
About 50 countries have prepared interim
and full Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs). In this
context, this paper examines Millennium Development Goal
(MDG)7: Ensuring Environmental Sustainability, its targets
and indicators, and responds to three questions: To what
extent do PRSPs define and adopt targets and indicators that
align with those of MDG7? To what extent do the available
data allow tracking of progress with respect to MDG7? When
data are available, what are the trends, and how can the
data be effectively utilized to examine the status and
trends of countries in relation to MDG7? The assessment of
interim and full Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs)
shows that: 1) Only 12 of the 28 full PRSPs present some
information on the baselines and targets in line with the
MDG7; and none of the 22 interim PRSPs present discussion on
the long-term perspective; 2) Within the PRSPs that present
targets aligned with MDG7, attention is almost exclusively
focused on water and sanitation; 3) Available data can be
used to document the status and trends of relevant MDG7 indicators.
