The document discusses developing an organization's position on priorities for the post-MDG development agenda. It highlights the importance of prioritizing the voices of those living in poverty and retaining goals and targets from the MDGs. A partner in Cambodia called for a framework that encourages greater public participation in development planning. Research found that people living in poverty are aware their wellbeing depends on decisions they cannot influence. The document also lists potential goal areas for a post-MDG framework like jobs, climate change, peace, governance, gender equality, and access to decent services.
