Reasonable Goals for Reducing Poverty in Africa
Targets for the post-2015 MDGs and Agenda 2063

The eradication of extreme poverty is a key component in the post-2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) process and the African Union''s Agenda 2063. We use the International Futures forecasting system to explore this goal and find that many African states are unlikely to make this target by 2030, even when modelling a package of aggressive poverty reduction interventions. In addition to country level targets, we argue in favour of a goal that would see Africa as a whole reducing extreme poverty to below 15 % by 2030 and to below 4 % by 2045.
