Moving From The Millennium To The Sustainable Development Goals

Moving From The Millennium To The Sustainable Development Goals

Description:

This book presents a collection of chapters that examine various dimensions of development.

Between 2000 and 2015, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) remained the overarching development framework that governed the international development community.

After a decade and half of commitment to the MDGs, the framework is widely considered a success, although progress reported across countries has been uneven.

The new overarching international development framework may not be successful or present the best opportunities for the desired global change without a better understanding of factors that contributed the most or the least to the attainment of the MDGs.

The chapters presented in this book provide discussions and insights into understanding these factors better.

They represent a collection of scholarship that address some of the important questions in international development. They adopt a wide range of research methods to provide insight into what works, and what does not, in promoting the stipulated development goals.

Information about business:

Business is the activity of making one’s living or making money by producing or buying and selling products (such as goods and services).
[need quotation to verify] Simply put, it is “any activity or enterprise entered into for profit.
It does not mean it is a company, a corporation, partnership, or have any such formal organization, but it can range from a street peddler to General Motors.”

Having a business name does not separate the business entity from the owner, which means that the owner of the business is responsible and liable for debts incurred by the business.
If the business acquires debts, the creditors can go after the owner’s personal possessions.
A business structure does not allow for corporate tax rates. The proprietor is personally taxed on all income from the business.
