Analysis of the impact of UN development agendas on the eradication of extreme poverty after 2000

The UN development agendas, their impact on reducing extreme poverty and the amount of money invested in this area is a very important topic worldwide. Given that the reality is different from the declared impact of the agendas, this thesis focuses on research of the causes of discrepancies between the mission of UN development agendas and the results achieved. This general focus determined the aim of the thesis stated below.The aim of the thesis is to analyze the UN’s competence to address global development after 2000 in connection with the adopted development agendas (Millennium Declaration and Agenda 2030) and especially their impact on eradicating extreme poverty since their adoption (2000 and 2015) to the present. The following research questions arose: What is the UN's competence to address global development after 2000? What development concepts are the UN development agendas and what is their impact on the eradication of extreme poverty? What economic theories and patterns are applicable in the implementation of the UN development agendas for the eradication of extreme poverty?The main conclusions from the theoretical part stem from the analysis of scientific publications, which shows the absence of the issue of the effectiveness of UN agendas in scientific journals, and, conversely, the frequency of scientific articles on extreme poverty based on mathematical methods and scientific theories. Quantitative and qualitative analyzes have shown that, despite the change in institutional structure, the UN does not have sufficient scope for development after 2000. The discourse of development agendas has not had a positive effect on extreme poverty in the world; Extreme poverty in the world's poorest countries has continued to rise during the implementation of both the Millennium Declaration and the Agenda 2030, and the economic tools of the Agenda 2030 are not moving in the desired direction. The UN's inefficiency in this area is due to an unproven approach to development and poverty in the discourse of agendas (with an emphasis on official development assistance) without addressing population growth and without defining property rights in countries with extreme poverty, lack of financial flow management, control and feedback. The involvement of rent-seeking interest groups causes the absence of transparent management and the untraceability of financial flows, which causes government failure and stagnation of global governance (UN).The scientific contribution of the thesis is primarily based on joint research on UN development agendas and their impact on extreme poverty. The causes of the ineffectiveness of development agendas and the ever-evolving extreme poverty have been identified. The analysis of the current state of knowledge revealed the absence of quality research (scientists do not deal with the effectiveness of development agendas in contrast to extreme poverty), while the causes were identified mainly by the absence of source data for research. Relevant economic theories were applied to the identified negative phenomena determining the ineffectiveness of UN development agendas.
