The International Poverty Centre has been increasingly concentrating its applied research on the MDG agenda. It has also been gearing up to provide more training on MDG-related analysis and policymaking. This is particularly true for disaggregating data for MDG indicators. This effort has also been focused on determining the macroeconomic impact of a large inflow of Official Development Assistance to support attaining the MDGs.
