Getting started with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the main task of this early 2016. The agreement reached last October on the SDGs has in fact allowed to shift the focus from what these new goals should include to how they should be implemented. The development community is now called to look at the activities that will drive progress, at how progress will reach those who need it most and finally at how to monitor and evaluate the process in order not to get lost along the way.

To contribute to the discussions, CPAN has decided to launch a series of articles from prominent experts and ODI researchers to discuss about SDGs implementation with a special emphasis on the poorest.
