Moving from the Millennium to the Sustainable Development Goals

Beschreibung

With the introduction of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), perhaps the most important questions on the minds of most policymakers is whether the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were successful and what factors may have influenced their achievement. Answering these questions is important for assessing the ongoing progress of the SDGs and identifying key policy areas to focus on. This important edited collection examines various dimensions of the MDGs and development goals more generally, from socioeconomic factors to institutional, financial and more.
The authors provide lessons and recommendations for attaining the Sutainable Development Goals that will be relevant to academics, development policymakers and practitioners, as well as NGOs, development agencies and students.
This book presents a collection of chapters that examine various dimensions of development. Between 2000 and 2015, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) remained the overarching development framework that governed the international development community. After a decade and half of commitment to the MDGs, the framework is widely considered a success, although progress reported across countries has been uneven. The new overarching international development framework may not be successful or present the best opportunities for the desired global change without a better understanding of factors that contributed the most or the least to the attainment of the MDGs. The chapters presented in this book provide discussions and insights into understanding these factors better. They represent a collection of scholarship that address some of the important questions in international development. They adopt a wide range of research methods to provide insight into what works, and what does not, in promoting the stipulated development goals.
