2015 – Time for Action

Development, 2014, vol. 57, issue 1, 25-29

Abstract: Defining the post-2015 development agenda is a daunting yet inspiring and historic task for the United Nations (UN) and its Member States. Now is the time for the international community to go beyond existing geo-political and ideological divides and together shape a bold and ambitious agenda. The conversations around post-2015 have been the most open of its kind to date. The decisions on the shape of the next agenda still rest with Member States. The next twelve months will be critical in securing an agreement on a new vision and a responsive framework integrating economic growth, social justice and environmental stewardship. The success of the post-2015 development agenda will depend on how well it can mobilize political will and resources of all partners at various levels. A true transformation will require ownership and mutual accountability.
