Abstract: With the 21 targets of the Millennium Development Goals and the 0.7 per cent of gross national income target for Official Development Assistance coming to an end, 2015 represents an opportunity to update and broaden the global development reporting framework to strengthen the global effort to reduce poverty in developing countries. This article proposes a three-pillar approach to monitor the post-2015 progress based on traditional development outcomes, policy coherence for development indicators and global public goods. Through an analytical framework, the desirability, feasibility and political acceptability of the approach are assessed. The article finds that any perceived technical challenges could be overcome but that the willingness of more affluent countries to have their contributions monitored is likely to be the key stumbling block.
