As the post-2015 development goals are drafted, Podesta argues that "sustainable economic growth is not simply about increasing the size of national economies but about shaping enduring systems and institutions that respect the rights of individuals and give them the tools they need to help lift themselves out of poverty."

UN Dispatch Mali conflict could spread, UN says Unrest in Mali could expand into Western Sahara, writes Louis Charbonneau. In a report to the United Nations Security Council, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, "All governments consulted raised serious concern over the risk that the fighting in Mali could spill over into the neighboring countries and contribute to radicalizing the Western Saharan refugee camps."

"The post-2015 goals should remain focused on eliminating the multiple dimensions of extreme poverty, but they also need to address emerging global realities," argues John McArthur, a United Nations Foundation fellow. The InterDependent (4/8)      Land rights are "vital" to ensuring growth, says World Bank The World Bank is emphasizing the promotion of land rights and the prevention of corporate land grabs, writes Carey Biron. World Bank President Jim Yong Kim says, "Modern, efficient and transparent policies on land rights are vital to reducing poverty and promoting growth, agriculture production, better nutrition and sustainable development." Inter Press Service (4/8)      Celebrating WHO's 65 years of fighting disease The World Health Organization turned 65 on Sunday.
