The advancement towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa has slowed down and even regressed on certain goals, due to the accumulating impacts of the polycrisis, including the climate change induced shocks, the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ripple effects of the war in Ukraine. More than 30 million Africans were forced into extreme poverty in 2021, and 22 million jobs were lost. These exogenous crises diminish the capacity of nations to react, putting them in a perpetual state of emergency, with limited scope for recuperating and for allocating resources towards sustained economic development.
