Summary MDG/SDG transition report : section one progress on MDGs 1 to 8

Abstract

Africa did not meet most of the MDGs targets even as it prepared for the transition to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 2063, the continental framework for Africa’s development. The two landmark events signal a two pronged transition: a global level transition from the Millennium Development Goals to the 2030 Agenda and a continent level transition to Agenda 2063, a framework that consolidates new and existing regional initiatives such as NEPAD into a forward looking transformational framework for Africa.
