Beyond 2015

2010 - 2016
Beyond 2015 is a global campaign which was created in 2010 to ensure civil society participation in the framing of the new global development framework to replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) after their expiration in 2015.

An advocacy-based campaign, Beyond 2015 brought together civil society organisations around the world to achieve two key goals:

  1. A global, overarching, cross-thematic framework to succeed the MDGs, reflecting Beyond 2015’s policy positions.
  2. A participatory and inclusive process to develop this framework, responsive to the voices of those directly affected by poverty and injustice.
