    Millennium Development Goals

     

    This course looks at a more inclusive development framework which can not only deliver faster and more sustainable growth, but can establish a more virtuous link between that growth and human development. It emphasizes the importance of domestic resource mobilization (including public sector investment), the need to strengthen productive capacities and widen policy space, as well as the need to pay more attention to income inequality. The MDGs also need to reconnect with the broader set of international development goals, including those emerging from new challenges around the global financial crisis and climate change.  Despite awareness of the need for greater ownership and stronger development partnerships, the existing multilateral rules and arrangements have not yet became sufficiently directed towards achieving the MDGs. The course also looks at the likely institutional changes, big and small, that could reorient international development cooperation to better support inclusive development.
