Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). While natural resource wealth has the potential to lift many out of poverty, sustain economic growth, and foster political stability, it does not guarantee these benefits. The absolute levels of human development in many resource-rich countries remain low, despite their apparent wealth. The challenge is to adopt policies that better harness the potential of natural resources, not only as an opportunity for development, but also to foster policies and institutional innovations that manage resource wealth equitably and boost human capital. To this end, this volume highlights key opportunities and solutions for harnessing natural resources for sustained economic development and explain how such approaches should be incorporated into the SDG agenda. These opportunities are communicated in the form of policy recommendations that in some cases, are country specific but can (and should) be adapted by individual African countries where applicable. With a broad perspective supplied by a diverse group of authors, this book will be useful for graduate students and academicians studying Africa, development economics, economic policy, and resource management, as well as policy makers, NGOs, and IGOs. 410 0$aNatural Resource Management and Policy,$x0929-127X ;$v53 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aAfrica?Politics and government 606 $aEconomic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aAfrican Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911090 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aAfrica?Politics and government. 615 14$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 676 $a305.42096 676 $a333.7096 702 $aAyuk$b Elias T$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aUnuigbe$b Ngozi F$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337669803321 996 $aNew Frontiers in Natural Resources Management in Africa$92289738 997 $aUNINA
