  1. Happy Groundhog Year? Why we must adapt and innovate in 2013

    Opinion - Articles and blogs - 7 January 2013

    This time last year I wrote about how uncertainty and risk are shaping not only everyday events but also how we think about development and humanitarian practice.  As I sit down to reflect on the challenges ahead in 2013, it feels a bit like Groundhog Day. Much of the uncertainty of last year remains – the long shadow of the global financial crisis, the fiscal crunch in Europe, the growing number and intensity of extreme weather events, and the fracturing trajectory of the increasingly deadly Syrian conflict.

    MY World

    Projects - January 2013 to August 2015
    What is it that people most want in life? The answers are to be found in the United Nations MY World survey, brainchild of Claire Melamed, Head of ODI’s Growth, Poverty and Inequality Programme, and Paul Ladd, Senior Advisor and Head of Post-2015 at UNDP. MY World captures people’s voices, priorities and views, so that global leaders can be informed as they begin the process of defining the new development agenda for the world. More than 1 million people have participated so far, making this one of the biggest surveys ever carried out.

    Old puzzles, new pieces: putting the development jigsaw together

    Opinion - Articles and blogs - 6 November 2012

    Many of us want to change the world, but we often forget that the world is already changing itself. Over the past 50 years, efforts to reduce poverty through aid, and more broadly through development cooperation, have had to adapt to constant change. This need for critical evaluation of contexts and challenges has helped make development cooperation a much more dynamic policy space than many would imagine.

    But even for those who are used to accommodating change, it is hard to get a handle on the current upheavals:

  8. Civil society is talking…is the High-Level Panel listening?

    Opinion - Articles and blogs - 6 November 2012
    'Will governments and the HLP rise to the challenge on the difficult stuff, like MDG8, inequality and tax systems? One thing is certain, it would be hard for them to do this alone, and this time round there is a real opportunity for civil society to speak up. The most important part will be making a clear and focused ask.'

    Post-2015 High-Level Panel

    ODI On...

    There is already an active debate on what might follow the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), when they expire in 2015. ODI is right at the heart of it, with our research and policy advice linking directly to governments, NGOs and UN agencies.

    The only official process on shaping the goals and debate at this moment is the High-Level Panel on Post-2015. After more than a year of meetings, consultations and 100s of reports, this panel has released their report to the UN Secretary GeneralA new global partnership: Eradicate poverty and transform economies through sustainable development.

    Throughout the process researchers all across ODI have been feeding evidence into the post-2015 global debate, sharing their views on what targets are central to ensuring and just and sustainable future for all. We also track of what the key players are thinking, writing and saying through our facilitation of the post2015.org website and the @post2015 Twitter account.
