Transitioning from the MDGs to the SDGs: Accountability for the Post-2015 Era

CDP Background Paper No. 25 By the CDP subgroup on Accountability The success of the post-2015 development agenda depends on adopting global goals for sustainable development and on designing a robust accountability system.
