Every year, Convergences convenes a rich panel of world-wide development experts to brainstorm the burning issues that are challenging the global economy within the upcoming horizon of 2015. As the deadline is already at the door, the leaders shall now question why the Millenium Developement Goals remain at this state of unachievement and how should we change to make it by 2030.
