Conference: Objectives/ Background
In 2015, all United Nations Member States adopted the ‘‘Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development | Department of Economic and Social Affairs (un.org). To achieve this global agenda, efforts from multiple stakeholders at different levels and geographies are required. For example, different institutions (both public and private) and stakeholders at global, regional, sub-regional, and national levels have contributed to the collective attainment of any Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While many parts of the world may adopt similar approaches and frameworks, Africa’s political, socio-economic, and institutional landscape presents unique challenges when attaining SDGs. Thus, this conference seeks to bring together different researchers to explore the role of African academics/Scholars (through research and engagement) in addressing the complex social issues in Africa. Such issues may include but are not limited to inequality and poverty, unemployment, public health, geopolitical conflicts, war, climate change, and human rights.
Conference Theme : Contributing to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa through multidisciplinary research and engagement.
