Global poverty reduction to 2015 and beyond: what has been the impact of the MDGs and what are the options for a post-2015 global framework?

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to assess the policy impact of the MDGs and tobegin to ask questions about any post-2015 global framework. The paper asksa series of questions and, in doing so, reviews the impact of the MDGs onpolicy and outcomes. The paper argues that the MDGs have had substantialbut uneven policy impacts and post-2015 a more explicit and shared ownershipof both South and North in any new deal is essential, as is attention to achanged world compared with that of the late 1990s. We outline three stylisedoptions for a post-2015 framework in order to trigger further debate andpropose that debate be led by a global commission.
