Ensuring the inclusion of minority issues in post- 2015 development agendas 2014, para. 36
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Deficiencies in the MDG framework have been highlighted by minority rights and development experts. A reliance on aggregate results and a continuing lack of disaggregated data collection resulted in very few measurements being made of the progress of minority groups towards the goals. Governments have tended to focus attention on populations that are easiest to reach and issues that were easiest and least costly to address. Minorities are often geographically and socially harder to reach and their issues include long-standing discrimination and social exclusion, which are more difficult to address. Strategies consequently often failed to target minorities and their particular challenges, even where the political will to address the issues of minorities existed.
