Prime Minister David Cameron is to co-chair a meeting of the UN's high level panel in Liberia later, where he is on the final leg of his Africa trip.
The group will be seeking to agree aims to replace the millennium development goals - to end poverty - which expire in 2015.
It is also led by Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yodhoyono and Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
David Cameron has visited Algeria and Libya during his tour.
'Narrow focus'The millennium development goals, set to be completed by 2015, are pledges by UN member countries to increase living standards in poorer parts of the world.
The first of them - reducing poverty among some of the very poorest - has been achieved, due largely to big increases in income in recent years in China and India. But attempts to reach other goals have been less successful.
BBC political editor Nick Robinson said Britain would be arguing "for a narrow focus on eradicating what is called 'absolute poverty' within a generation".
"Some other countries are arguing for a broader approach incorporating environmental targets as well," he said.
Our correspondent added: "David Cameron insists that he sees this as much part of his approach to dealing with terrorism as the sending of British troops to North Africa."
Charity inputThe next set of UN goals will be drafted with input from charities and advocacy groups.
More than 60 groups are in the Liberian capital Monrovia - where the meeting is taking place - to air their views.
The next meeting will be in Indonesia. followed by a final gathering in New York in May - where the findings will be presented to UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon.
On Thursday, David Cameron was in Libya, where he announced that police investigating the 1988 Lockerbie bombing were to visit the country.
He also met Prime Minister Ali Zidan and President Mohamed Magarief, and visited a police training college.
His African tour began in Algeria, where the recent hostage crisis left some 37 foreigners dead - including up to six Britons.
While there Mr Cameron announced that the two counties had agreed a security partnership, including co-operation on border and aviation security, as well as joint action on trade, investment and education.
