Rezensionen

"In exploring the international development community's expanded the focus from MDGs to SDGs, this timely and well-written book offers a refreshing look at the synergies between the SDGs and Africa's own development agenda and stresses the critical role that African leaders can play in achieving the SDGs." - Francis Owusu, Professorand Chair of the Department of Community & Regional Planning, Iowa State University.

"As an African researcher and educationist who lives on the continent, I believe "From Millennium Development Goals to Sustainable Development Goals" will be a point of reference for many years to come. The book is a brilliant piece of work in which the informed contributors give great thoughts for Africa's positive way forward. It suggests practices that will shape the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals in Africa and brings unimaginable prospects in Africa closer in time and space. I highly recommend this comprehensive and well-reasoned contribution to the world." - Professor Hany Besada, Deputy Executive Director, Diamond Development Initiative.
