Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SDGs represent global efforts toward designated targets by 2030. However, progress has been slow. This is partly because the world has become more interconnected; thus, the impacts of events ripple more powerfully across the globe. Conversely, when individual actions to achieve the SDGs unite, they can become a great force for making the world a better place. This topic provides an opportunity to learn about the activities of JICA, which has been implementing the concept of “SDGs” since before the term was coined, and at the same time, to reconsider the SDGs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, concerns about the outcomes and nature of economic growth have given way to a new emphasis on its quality. This volume brings together prominent international contributors to consider a range of interrelated questions concerning the quality of growth in Africa, with a primary focus on sub-Saharan countries. Contributors discuss the measurement of growth, the transformations necessary to sustain it, and issues around equity and well-being. They consider topics such as the distribution of income gains from growth; the extent to which economic growth has resulted in improvements in employment, poverty, and security; structural transformations of the economy and diversification of the sources of growth; environmental sustainability; and management of urbanization. Offering both diagnoses and prescriptions, The Quality of Growth in Africa helps envision a future that goes beyond increasing GDP to ensuring that growth translates into advancements in well-being. Although the book focuses on sub-Saharan Africa, much of the contributors’ incisive analysis has implications for countries outside the region.
