This sets out Oxfam’s proposals for a successor framework to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for the period after 2015. At this early stage of the debate, our recommendations focus on the overall vision, purpose and core principles that should guide a new framework (section 1); critical issues to be included, and how they should be treated (section 2a); proposed targets and commitments in a few core areas (section 2b). It is an initial contribution, and our views will develop and be enriched as the global conversation continues toward 2015.
