    Progress for everyone? Measuring inequality and why it matters

    Opinion - Articles and blogs,Podcasts and audio - 24 April 2013

    'By looking at averages when measuring progress, we are looking at a biased view of what we have been able to achieve. Only by looking at inequitable distributions of our progress, can we really understand whether or not we are achieving progress.'

    Inequality doesn’t just hurt the poorest people – it hurts whole societies, leading many to argue that tackling inequality should be at the centre of the next development framework – not on the periphery.

    How should inequality feature in a post-2015 agreement?

    Event - Public event - 18 April 2013 12:30 - 14:00 (GMT+01 (BST))

    Should our concern be with inequality, per se, or rather the situation of the most deprived? Which inequalities are most pressing? Do we need a goal on inequality, or should it be incorporated as a ‘cross cutting’ issue? Which individuals or groups should we be most concerned about? In the light of the HLP’s forthcoming report, we invite our panellists to reflect upon its recommendations and give their own insights on the questions above.

    Business and a post-2015 sustainable development agenda: where next?

    Event - Public event - 17 April 2013 18:00 - 19:30 (GMT+01 (BST))

    As we approach 2015, the target date for the internationally-agreed Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), discussions on what will replace them are gaining momentum. While there have been a number of conversations about the role of the private sector in a new framework, there have been few specific suggestions on how businesses could become involved in a new set of goals. This event, co-organised by Business Fights Poverty, Stakeholder Forum and ODI aims to shift the focus of the conversation towards a more practical discussion of proposals.

  10. Business and a post-2015 development framework: where next?

    Publication - Research reports and studies - 28 March 2013
    Paula Lucci
    This paper provides a contribution to the discussion on how the private sector can best be involved in any global development framework that follows the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), post-2015. While there have been conversations on this issue, they tend to be fairly broad and general. So far, there have been very few specific suggestions (of which we are aware at the time of writing) on how private sector actors can actually contribute to the post-2015 agenda, or how the design and delivery mechanisms of future goals could help shape private sector behaviours, where relevant. This paper aims to help fill this gap.
