Defining development after 2015: Talks are under way

The first substantive meetings to decide on the global development agenda after 2015 -- the year the current Millennium Development Goals are set to expire -- are being held this week in London. While alleviating household poverty tops the agenda, the World Health Organization is advocating for universal health coverage. British Prime Minister David Cameron is looking to de-emphasize quantity of aid in lieu of a "golden thread" of policies that promote government stability, transparency and the rule of law. The Guardian (London) (10/31),Devex.com/The Development Newswire (10/23) /.../
