RI to Avoid Overhaul of Millennium Goals

BY


Speaking in an event one day after the fourth High Level Panel on the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs), President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono stated that Indonesia would avoid a total change of an existing MDGs framework in designing a post-2015 development agenda. He cited the three proposals he raised during earlier meetings of the panel: (1) Maintaining the existing MDGs framework that comprises eight targets and provide further details to each target, (2) Expanding the targets into nine or ten targets, or (3) Designing entirely new targets. He argued that it is better to opt for the first or second choice, as opposed to the third, as he believes that ending poverty should be maintained as priority in the post-2015 MDGs.
