It assesses the current state of the MDGs in Africa by outlining the successes, gaps and failures of the state goals, including lessons learned. A unique feature of the book is the exposition on post-MDG’s agenda for Africa’s development. Chapters on poverty, south-south partnership, aid, gender, empowerment, health as well as governance and development explore what feasible alternative lie ahead for Africa beyond the expiry date of the MDGs.Social Indicators Research Series,1387-6570 ;58Quality of lifeSocial policyPolitical economySociologyInternational relationsQuality of Life Researchhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020International Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000International Relationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000Quality of life.Social policy.Political economy.Sociology.International relations.Quality of Life Research.Social Policy.International Political Economy.Gender Studies.International Relations.338.96Andrews Nathanedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKhalema Nene Ernestedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAssié-Lumumba N'Dri Tedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484656803321Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Retrospect2852644UNINA
