Monrovia (Antara Bali) - Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has said a new Post-2015 development agenda must focus on poverty eradication and sustainable economic growth promotion.
"With regards to the principles of the new development agenda, First, we must focus on ending poverty while promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth," Yudhoyono said here, on Friday, when co-chairing the third UN High Level Panel Meeting with Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and British Prime Minister David Cameron.
President Yudhoyono shared Indonesia's experiences in eradicating poverty in the meeting attended by the Pane's members from 24 countries, ANTARA's News Director Akhmad Kusaeni reported from Monrovia.
On the priorities of a post-2015 development agenda, he stated that there should be four key priorities.
"First, the agenda should continue to focus on eradicating extreme poverty - the main objective of the MDGs, with a strong emphasis on human development. This includes extreme poverty and hunger, education, health, and equality for girls and women," he explained.
The agenda should also address the causes of poverty and put in place the building blocks of sustained prosperity, which include infrastructure, jobs creation, social protection, accountability, justice, and anti-violence. (*/DWA)
