Product Description
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals initiative has the potential to set the direction for a future world that works for everyone. Approved by 193 United Nations member countries in September 2016 to help guide global and national development policies through the year 2030 the seventeen goals build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals but also include new priority areas such as climate change economic inequality innovation sustainable consumption peace and justice. Assessed against commonly agreed targets and indicators the goals should facilitate intergovernmental cooperation and the development of regional and even global development strategies. This book explores through a series of case studies the substantial challenges for assembling reliable data and statistics to address pressing development challenges particularly in Africa. By highlighting the enormous potential value of creating and using high quality data statistics and records as an interconnected resource and describing how this can be achieved the book will contribute to defining meaningful and realistic global and national development policies in the critical period to 2030. show more
