ABSTRACT

This concluding chapter provides a final overview of the argument that has been given in this book and sums up some of its conclusions. While the framework that is proposed in this book has a quite specific focus, this chapter looks forward and speculates on how the framework presented in this book can be applied not only to future development agendas—including the monitoring and evaluation of progress—but also to other development tasks, such as the design of specific development projects. Moreover, the chapter shows how the framework for setting development agendas can be applied to the evaluation of an existing development agenda, namely the SDGs.
