“…For example, declines in poverty levels and maternal and child mortality rates, and increases in enrolment and completion of primary education have been noted by Khemka and Kumar (2019) and Pawar (2017). At the same time, the MDGs were critiqued as they were perceived as top-down and narrow as certain groups/issues were excluded, such as people with disabilities, older adults, gender, peace and environment, and they targeted only developing countries (Pawar, 2017; Pawar & Midgley, 2017). However, the formulation of the 17 SDGs seemed to have addressed most of these critiques as they appear comprehensive, apply to both developed and developing countries, include ideas from the South and attempt to integrate social, economic and environmental development aspects (Fukuda-Parr & Muchhala, 2019; Hanson et al, 2017; Niklasson, 2019; Pawar, 2019).…”

The article critically reviews and discusses the findings and recommendations of the Australian Senate Inquiry into the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); and suggests strategies to achieving the SDGs within and beyond Australia. By employing the focus group discussion method, it critically discusses the report as per the Inquiry’s terms of reference and looks at Australia’s responses to the SDGs both domestically and internationally. It underscores the engagement of government, including the Official Development Assistance, and non-government organisations, and the private sector. To accelerate the implementation of the SDGs, it argues that greater awareness of the SDGs, attitudinal change and systematic implementation and action are needed locally, nationally and globally. The SDGs require an approach that is beyond national interest, focusing on world development that leaves no one behind.

“…Given the overall declining poverty trend, why did the number of women in poverty increase (at least in the surveyed area)? (see Pawar, 2017)…”

This article and editorial aims to point out 193 governments’ unrealised pledge to eradicate extreme poverty and end hunger by 2030. The latest progress report shows that overall progress against the sustainable development goals 1 and 2 is not on track. It calls for renewed commitment by governments to allocate adequate resources and take practical steps to end poverty and hunger by engaging people at local levels at a global scale. It also introduces the special issue to critically analyse connections and disconnections among poverty, policy and the poor with a hope to engender further thought, research and action to end poverty and hunger.
