The Millennium Development Goals and the Post-2015 Development Agenda

That is the title of a short talk I gave to a bicameral (i.e., House and Senate), bipartisan audience of senior congressional staffers last Friday at the United States Capitol in Washington, DC. You can find the slides I had prepared for that talk here.

In my talk, I discussed progress (or lack thereof) on the Millennium Development Goals as well as the way forward, and I articulated my vision of what the development “industry” should be doing instead. A lot of what I discussed is related to things I have previously written about on this blog and in a Foreign Affairs article.
