Resumen de Post-2015 Development Agenda: Targeting Poverty through Sustainable Peace
In the last two decades, latest reports on poverty, especially by the UN, indicate that the world has experienced a drop of close to a billion people from extreme poverty, out of the initial figure of two billion people back in 1990 according to the MDGs framework. As the world postulates the post-2015 development agenda, 1.1 billion people are still living in extreme poverty or having to survive on less than $1.25 a day or less. If you perceive or regard poverty as a problem that can be solved in our life time; then for that to happen, there will need to be a turn-around from the business-as-usual mode of doing things to ensure the scope of planning addresses all dimensions of poverty. That scope should include the correlation between Targeting Poverty and Sustainable Peace. However, failure to correlate poverty, insecurity and factors that create barriers to opportunities to fight poverty, then it might be a tall order to lift the hundreds of million living in extreme poverty by 2030
