ABSTRACT
Traditional development aid interventions, as formulated in the Millennium Development Goals,
might not be the most effective response for the poor to grow out of poverty due to the triple crises of nutrition,
finance and environment, in addition to the changing geopolitical landscape. New challenges therefore need to
be confronted in a post-2015 agenda, which could be the best part of a global social contract in which all
concerns should therefore be discussed in order to reach the goal of full and productive employment. Coherent
policies both at national and international levels are needed that go far beyond concerns of development aid
and successful technical assistance projects. The challenge is to have these policies well articulated in a post-
2015 development agenda, otherwise full employment would remain a lofty and elusive goal.
