Why do U.S. development agencies, which have their own strategic plans and priorities, care about a global development agenda?
The Millennium Development Goals were “transformational,” but the sustainable development goals will be, “a step up,” Tony Pipa, the U.S. government’s special coordinator for the post-2015 development agenda, told Devex.
As the world turns its attention to negotiations and financing agreements that will result in a global agenda to guide the next 15 years of development cooperation, the role the private sector will play in implementing — and financing — post-2015 targets has garnered increased awareness as well.
