ABSTRACT
This article is published as part of Fridays With MUNPlanet, and its special series dedicated to world politics and the United Nations. Stephen Browne and Thomas Weiss, co-directors of Future UN Development System (FUNDS) Project at Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies in New York write for MUNPlanet about the challenges that lay ahead the post-development agenda. They argue that "the UN system must cohere more, and its components must cooperate not compete. A strong centre of strategic direction is needed," and that "the SDGs will be toothless without adequate monitoring to embarrass non-compliers."
