  6. MDGs: Still Relevant? • Approximately half the interviewees to date believed they were still relevant, though many of these qualified that statement • A quarter felt they had no relevance • A quarter were ambiguous

  7. Positive attitudes • ‘If you want to go quickly, go alone; if you want to go far, go together. I think of The MDGs as a very messy go together’ – Network, US • ‘The value added is around giving some general overall goals for everybody to keep their eye.’ -Consultant, Female, Bolivia

  8. Positive Attitudes • ‘It has produced positive external pressure - no country wants to lag behind.’ – NGO Director, Female, Malawi • ‘‘The MDGs are a simple and clear articulation of what is required for human development. They are target-oriented, clear, simple, precise and helpful.’ INGO Director, Male, India

  9. Attitudes: Mixed • ‘MDGs provide focus, something for people to rally around, but like other management targets, they skew the efforts towards narrow targets.’ INGO Director, Male, Italy • ‘While the MDGs are important they miss the point about how you get there. It’s the wrong starting place for where we need to be post 2015 but that doesn’t mean we throw it out at this point, we get what we can out of it.’ Think Tank, Female, UK

  10. Attitudes: Negative • ‘The MDGs have no relevance; they’re poetry. At the present rate of implementation they will be achieved in 2155, not 2015.’ Priest and human rights activist, South Africa
