Insights on the transition to a universal development agenda

The scope of the policy coherence agenda has expanded in many ways and concerns all countries regardless of their level of income and development. This chapter considers the ways in which the concept has evolved in light of the post-2015 Development Agenda by tapping into the collective knowledge pool of a number of distinguished thinkers, including Catherine Mann, OECD Chief Economist Amina Mohammed, UN Special Advisor on Post-2015 Development Planning Erik Solheim, Chair of OECD’s Development Assistant Committee (DAC) Jiang Ye of the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies former DAC Chairs James Michel and J. Brian Atwood and Richard Carey, former Director of OECD’s Development Co-operation Directorate.
