2015年9月，可持续发展目标（SDG）取代了千年发展目标。可持续发展目标的目标是改变目前的援助架构，在全球范围内促进环境、经济和社会福祉。这一新的全球可持续发展框架的设计过程在人们参与的机会范围方面是独一无二的。本文探讨了关于社区发展的辩论可以为新的全球发展框架提供哪些经验教训。首先，我们分析了在制定可持续发展目标的过程中纳入地方层面“声音”的现有尝试，借鉴了有关关键社区发展和公民参与的现有文献。我们发现，在可持续发展目标进程中纳入公民视角在很大程度上是象征性的。基于这一批评，我们继续探索关键社区发展文献中关于实施可持续发展目标的方法的命题，这些方法可能是真正的变革。最后，我们考虑了关键的社区发展文献的见解，以及旨在影响可持续发展目标设计和实施的全球参与性研究网络的结果。我们探讨如何通过更深入和更具战略性的代表和参与形式，使公民在新的全球框架中的参与变得更加重要。最后，我们回过头来审视以一种更自下而上和变革性的方法来执行新的全球框架的前景和实际要求。
In September 2015, the sustainable development goals (SDGs) replaced the millennium development goals. The ambitions of the SDGs are to transform the current aid architecture and promote environmental, economic and social well-being on a global scale. The process of how this new global framework for sustainable development has been designed is unique in terms of the extent of opportunities for people's participation. This article considers what lessons the debate on community development can offer the new global development framework. First, we analyse existing attempts to include 'voices' from the local level in the process of formulating the SDGs, drawing on existing literature on critical community development and citizen participation. We find that the inclusion of citizen perspectives in the SDG process was largely tokenistic. Building on this critique, we go on to explore the propositions within the critical community development literature about an approach to implementing the SDGs that could be truly transformative. Finally, we consider the insights from the critical community development literature in relation to the findings of a global network of participatory research that aimed to influence the SDG design and implementation. We explore how citizen's participation in the new global framework could become more significant through deeper and more strategic forms of representation and engagement. In conclusion, we return to examine the prospects and practical requirements for a more bottom-up and transformative approach to implementing the new global framework.
