The United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have successfully drawn the world’s attention to the significance of ending extreme poverty and exclusion. But, time is running out on meeting all the targets by the end of 2015. To maintain the momentum generated by the MDGs on poverty reduction and sustainable development, a new initiative to set the development agenda for the post-2015 period was launched at the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in June 2012. World leaders at the Conference resolved to end extreme poverty and hunger as a matter of urgency by putting poverty in the broader context of sustainable development. It is in this regard that the final resolution of the Conference called for new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that would expand on the gains of the MDGs, and converge with the post-2015 development agenda (UNGA, 2012).
