About

“Each person behaviour affects more another because the World is more connected and interdependent than ever before, making each person a global intervenient.”

Post-2015 MDG Report.

First presented as a blog the Global Critics intends to be a Think-Tank  and a knowledge sharing platform on International Development with a critical pulse on global trends, thinking the world globally.

Poverty, Climate Change, Social Movements and Political Fragility are now global issues. The human community has evolved in such complexity that no problem shall find a solution if not addressed globally as well as the international community is urged to more than ever  reflect local and social needs in its action.
