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. 410 0$aSocial Indicators Research Series,$x1387-6570 ;$v58 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aPolitical economy 606 $aSociology 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aQuality of Life Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020 606 $aInternational Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140 606 $aGender Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000 606 $aInternational Relations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aPolitical economy. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 14$aQuality of Life Research. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aInternational Relations. 676 $a338.96 702 $aAndrews$b Nathan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKhalema$b Nene Ernest$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAssié-Lumumba$b N'Dri T$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484656803321 996 $aMillennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Retrospect$92852644 997 $aUNINA
