Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Africa's Path to Development offers a comprehensive analysis of the implications that the MDGs and SDGs have for Africa’s growth and development. This timely collection of essays brings together critical perspectives on Africa’s evolving development environment and provides essential insights for policymakers, political leaders, multinational corporations, NGOs, and the diverse media landscape across the continent.

The contributors explore the intersection of the MDGs and SDGs within the context of African development, covering topics such as governance, agriculture, south-south cooperation, natural resource governance, and sustainable development. They also delve into emerging issues such as the internet of things, the sharing economy, climate change, and non-traditional security concerns like conflict and human development. By examining these themes, the book sheds light on how Africa can transform the global aspirations of the SDGs into tangible, localized outcomes.

Through nuanced essays, the book offers a holistic view of Africa’s development trajectory, showcasing the continent's potential to adapt and thrive within the changing global landscape.
