Or has there been valuable cross-fertilization and learning-the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) themselves being a fruit of this convergence? This note addresses three points. The first point is the growing convergence between human rights and development thinking along several dimensions, particularly on social and economic rights. The second point is a consideration of the continuing areas of difference or divergence and of outstanding or open questions. Are these areas of conflict or are they valuable complementarities? The third point asks where are we with MDGs on the ground, and what can the dialogue between human rights and development contribute to furthering progress on MDGs? 2012-08-13T10:26:46Z 2012-08-13T10:26:46Z 2011-02 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2011/02/13843172/human-rights-development-practice http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10109 English Economic Premise; No. 50 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research
