Produktbeschreibung

With the introduction of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), perhaps the most important questions on the minds of most policymakers is whether the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were successful and what factors may have influenced their achievement. Answering these questions is important for assessing the ongoing progress of the SDGs and identifying key policy areas to focus on. This important edited collection examines various dimensions of the MDGs and development goals more generally, from socioeconomic factors to institutional, financial and more.

The authors provide lessons and recommendations for attaining the Sutainable Development Goals that will be relevant to academics, development policymakers and practitioners, as well as NGOs, development agencies and students.
