Description
As sustainable development continues to dominate current government agendas throughout Africa, this manual explores how to set and achieve goals for specific programs throughout the continent. Discussing challenges such as expanding populations and urbanization, this study provides details on how to better plan, evaluate, and expand for sustainable development, including already established entities such as the African Union and the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD). Research on the role of women, the strengthening of small businesses, and how to better structure policy and local government are explored in both regional and continental contexts.
