The UN Concept of Development and the Vision of Shared Societies

Author

  • Danilo Türk

Abstract

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are an important achievement resulting from decades of the UN involvement in the conceptualization and financing of development. Three general directions need to be at the centre of the MDGs post 2015: Poverty eradication, sustainability and fairness. The vision of shared societies can help. Disaggregation of data and identification of the most vulnerable social and identity groups are necessary for the ascertainment of the specific profiles of poverty, for the setting of priorities of social policy and for construction of adequate mechanism for participation of the affected people.
