2. The MDG Needs Assessment Study Objective is to put the country on an MDG-based long term planning path by: • Identifying interventions and investments needed to meet MDGs by 2015 • Identifying the resources required to support a scale-up of interventions through to 2015 • Outlining a financing strategy to achieve MDGs • Provide a well researched & analysed long term plan as a basis for policy interventions • Provide a framework for M&E and policy dialogue

3. Outputs from the Study • Comprehensive Kenya MDG Needs Assessment Report • Needs Assessment Report to inform long term MDG-based Plan • Subsequently, the long term plan to form the basis for the rolling medium term strategies and sectoral plans
