This Roadmap was developed in fulfilment of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Olivier De Schutter, in accordance with Council resolution 53/10, which tasked him with providing advice to States on the eradication of extreme poverty in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
The Roadmap also aims to assist States in implementing the Guiding Principles on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights, adopted by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 21/11 and which the General Assembly welcomed in its resolution 67/164 of 20 December 2012.
The challenge which the Roadmap seeks to address as well as the analytical framework have been presented as an Addendum to the report presented to the 62nd session of the Human Rights Council (A/HRC/62/42/Add.2). This is reproduced here as the Introduction and Part One (paras. 1-116).
The present document contains the full Roadmap, including the full set of policy measures (Part Two) that could contribute to eradicating poverty and reducing inequalities while reducing dependency on growth. A total of 80 policy measures are identified, at both domestic and multilateral levels.
Each of these policy measures have been developed in a detailed policy profile. All policy profiles can be found on the repository website of the Roadmap, built under the New Economies for Eradicating Poverty (NEEP) initiative of the Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, at: www.neep-poverty.org.
