Question:
The Millennuim Development Goals (MDGs)targets were to be acheived by 2015.A few will be met; many others will not. In either case despite great progress, poverty will remain a very serious ongoing concern. So what comes after 2015 to keep attention focussed on ending global poverty? The process of developing the MDGs and gaining global agreement took a nearly decade. With a framework in place for initiating agreements, a successor for the MDG should require less time.
But only four years remain until a global MDG summit in 2015; the countdown to a new agreement may galvanize development assistance debates.
What do you think will happen and should happen- and why?
