“Leaving no one behind” is frequently associated with the first target of the first SDG: to eradicate extreme poverty (meaning daily income below USD 1.90) by 2030. This poverty benchmark is so low that the target is quite modest and yet budget constraints derived from austerity policies make it impossible to reach in most countries. Instead of suggesting a policy change, many leaders want to “leverage” private monies for the public good and the World Bank envisages a “cascade” of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), a financing formula originally designed for infrastructure (as in privatized toll roads) that is being extended to the health and education sectors.
