Abstract
The vision of development expressed by people living in greatest poverty and
marginalisation should be at the heart of the post-2015 debate. Current
participatory research in 29 countries reveals two sets of principles for how
development should happen. The first calls for a recognition of the rights of those
experiencing extreme poverty and marginalisation to enable all people to flourish.
The second centres on collective action for social and policy change. Change must
occur through more democratic relationships in families and communities, and
mechanisms which allow marginalised citizens to hold governments accountable.
