- BACKGROUND
The Sustainable Development Goals Center for Africa (SDGC/A) is an international organization, headquartered in Kigali, Rwanda, that provides support to governments, civil society, businesses and academic institutions to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa. The SDGC/A launched its operations in July 2016 and its main areas of work include Research and policy advice; Education and capacity building; Technology, innovation and outreach and Inter-country investments and projects.
The Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and the SDG Center for Africa are jointly developing and publishing the Africa SDG Index and Dashboard. The annual report will focus on Africa's special needs in achieving the SDGs and build on the global SDG Index and Dashboards in support of the universal 2030 Agenda. It will focus on data and development challenges facing Africa to help track and benchmark SDG performance. Board members of the SDG Center for Africa, including Rwanda, Benin, Chad, Mozambique, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Guinea, have requested both organizations to undertake this work.
The objective of the Africa SDG Index Website is to provide the indicators and dashboards that will help African countries pinpoint key implementation challenges, while the overall index can provide an opportunity to assist countries in benchmarking their SDG performance against their African peers. As such, we have added more Africa-relevant indicators and metrics using data sourced from institutions within and focusing on Africa, including from Agenda 2063. The report synthesizes available data on the SDGs from official and unofficial sources and will feature case studies highlighting data and development successes and challenges in four African countries.
