Foreword

Africa faces persistent hurdles to its inclusive and sustainable development. Despite several pockets of excellence in the continent’s progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the African Union’s Agenda 2063, the number of SDG targets that require acceleration or reversal exceeds those that are on course. To reverse this trajectory, Africa requires financing of about $1.6 trillion through 2030. In a multipolar, geopolitically unstable world mired in polycrisis, Africa cannot continue with business-as-usual and be fit for purpose.

Sustainable Development Goals:

No Poverty

Reduced Inequalities

Climate Action
