MDG, SDG, sub-Saharan AfricaAbstract
In the year 2000, the Millenium Development Goals were the talk of many. The MDGs targeted key issues such as poverty, hunger, primary education, gender equality, child mortality, maternal health, disease, environmental sustainability, and global partnership. These global goals were not sufficiently met by sub-Saharan Africa. 15 years down the line the Sustainable Development Goals have been put forward. How can sub-Saharan Africa achieve these goals.
