A/69/302 indicators relevant to migrants, which should be used to inform the post -2015 agenda. 13. Assessment of progress 104. The Millennium Development Goals placed emphasis on overall progress as an indicator of whether the Goals had been successfully achieved, which resulted in massive inequalities because the data did not pick up the fact that sections of society were progressing slowly or not at all. This state of affairs led to increased exclusion of marginalized groups, including migrants. Such groups often lack political capital and tend to be overlooked by Governments when it comes to developing targeted policies and programmes. The sustainable development goals must therefore be able to provide comprehensive information with regard to the distribution of progress among sections of society and provide incentives for those who are “left behind”. 105. It is difficult to develop targeted programmes and measure progress for marginalized groups, including migrants, that are socially, economically and politically excluded or that suffer chronic violations that go unrecognized by the State. The relevant data tend not to be systematically collected, which lea ds to further exclusion. Without such data, marginalized groups are not adequately considered when States are setting priorities, developing policy and allocating budgets. Data sourcing that allows for disaggregated data and that measures and monitors the progress of development for all migrants, irrespective of their status, should be developed. 30 106. The post-2015 agenda reporting system should provide that registering progress require movement in the reduction of gaps, or be conditional upon demonstration of progress of the lowest quintiles, and in all regions of a country. 31 107. To assess progress in achieving the goal and its targets, the rate of progress as set according to the target for each population group and the reduction of inequalities should be clearly measured, including for migrants. IV. Conclusion and recommendations 108. The post-2015 agenda must address the freedom from fear and from want. Countries that have been seen as success stories of the Millennium Development Goals have also seen massive social unrest and political upheaval. 2 Economic growth alone is not an adequate measure of development. The post-2015 agenda must address economic, social and cultural rights, together with civil and political rights, to achieve peaceful societies, access to justice and political participation. 109. To guarantee inclusive sustainable development, the post-2015 agenda should focus on promoting and protecting the human rights of all marginalized groups, including migrants, irrespective of their status or circumstances, and __________________ 30 31 14-59006 Global Migration Group position paper on integrating migration in the post-2015 United Nations development agenda (see footnote 14 above).
