Transitioning from the MDGs to the SDGs: accountability for the post-2015 era: a background report by the CDP subgroup on Accountability

The Committee for Development Policy (CDP) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs have released their Background Paper No. 25, Transitioning from the MDGs to the SDGs: accountability for the post-2015 era: a background report by the CDP subgroup on Accountability. "This paper was prepared as a contribution to the work program of the United Nations Committee for Development Policy (CDP) on the United Nations’ development agenda for the post-2015 era. This research effort aimed at analyzing and proposing solutions to the current deficiencies in global rules and global governance for development."

"That analysis took into account lessons learnt from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) experience and the key development challenges that have emerged in recent years. In the period 2013-2014, the Committee shifted its focus of attention to the international environment, in particular to how intergovernmental cooperation could be strengthened to better manage the increasing interdependence among countries and reduce large inequalities among and within countries."
