Beyond 2015 is a global civil society campaign, pushing for a strong and legitimate successor framework to the Millennium Development Goals. Beyond 2015 brings together more than 1000 Civil Society Organisations including the European Anti-Poverty Network (EAPN) in over 130 countries around the world.
The campaign, created in 2010, is built on a diverse, global base. It ranges from small community based organisations to international NGOs, academics and trade unions. A founding principle of the campaign is that it is a partnership between civil society organisations from the ‘North’ and the ‘South’ – bringing together groups from developing, emerging and developed economies.

Beyond 2015 brings together more than 1,300 Civil Society Organisations from 132 countries all over the world. Of these, 56% are Southern CSOs and 44% are Northern CSOs – in 41 countries in Africa, 29 countries in Asia and the Pacific, 35 countries in Europe, 2 countries in North America and 26 countries in Latin America.

Beyond 2015 works with others to build a global, multi-stakeholder civil society movement for a legitimate post-2015 framework.
We seek to create a civil society consensus around a minimum standard of legitimacy for a post-2015 framework, both in terms of the process and the framework itself. Using this consensus, Beyond 2015 aims to influence the creation of such a framework at both the national and international level.
Whilst participating organisations have a range of views regarding the content of a post-2015 framework, we are united in working together to achieve the following:
- A global, overarching, cross-thematic framework to succeed the Millennium Development Goals, reflecting Beyond 2015’s policy positions.
- The process of developing this framework is participatory, inclusive and responsive to the voices of those directly affected by poverty and injustice.
