Abstract
This final conference report discusses conference presentations while considering the broader literature related to millennium development goals (MDGs). The report also highlights potential agendas for a post-2015 framework, in addition to outlining areas for further research and action related to the eradication of poverty. It includes strengths, criticisms and proposed changes. MDG goals currently consist of twenty-one quantifiable targets and sixty indicators and represent a global norm, meant to mobilize stakeholders and increase levels of development assistance, and also provide benchmarks to create an incentive structure that may hold governments and donors to account on poverty reduction.
