As the development cable model
(right) shows, development is a multifaceted process
At its core is economic development,
but to achieve real progress social,
political, environmental and personal
development is also needed.
Recognising the complex nature of
development is why development is
often measured using an index, which
combines a range of data
Indices are considered more accurate
than single data points such as GDP
per capita.
Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI)
Life expectancy + Literacy rate + Infant
Mortality rate
The Human Development Index (HDI)
Life expectancy at birth + Literacy rate +
Enrolment rate + GDP per capita PPP

• Annotate your notes to identify the MDGs
• Explain how they help development
• How do they link to each other?
How does World Toilet Day relate to
the MDGs?
We will be focusing on
POVERTY,

Add place marks to show:
• 1) Examples where your MDG has
improved: Education, health and poverty
• 2) Examples where your MDG has got
worse: Education, health, poverty
• 3) Information about 3 indicators in China,
India, Brazil, USA, Eritrea
Example of work from the UN
• Eritrea, East Africa
Located in the southern region
of the Sahel Desert therefore
experiencing periodic drought
Eritrea has focused on the
development of its gold mines
as a source of revenue and
economic growth
HDI: 0.381, ranked 182 of 187 countries
2/3rds of the country suffered from hunger in 2012
How have they done it?
• IMPROVED FOOD SECURITY DUE TO A NEW MICRO DAM, PART OF
A $1.2 MILLION UNDP FOOD SECURITY PROJECT IN ERITREA
• Eritrean Ministry of Agriculture and UNDP invested
US$1.2 million in two micro dams
• Capacity of 1million cubic meters
• Has led to more land being farmed
• Greater use of irrigation
• Each dam feeds 1200 households and 6000 people
• Female headed house holds are provide with the
same amount of arable land to ensure gender
parity.
• Children have better nutrition rates and can go to
school more consistently.

2) ‘The MDGs promised much but
delivered little’
• To what extent do you agree or disagree with
this?
3) How can we best achieve
development beyond 2015?

What should the goals be: Choose which ones should go into the SDGs and justify:
You can use and adapt the existing ones or include new ones such as:
• Thriving lives and livelihoods
• Sustainable food security
• Secure sustainable water
• Clean energy
• Healthy and productive ecosystems
• Sustainable societies
• Gender Equality

SDGs in the future?
