Sustainability: The concept and sustainable development policies in Sub-Saharan Africa
Théophile Azomahou, UNU-MERIT / Maastricht University
The concept of sustainability is multi-faceted. It interests researchers, policy and opinion makers, as well as organisations that contribute to favourable development conditions and improve the well-being of populations. Following the Millennium Development Goals, the post-2015 agenda and sustainable development targets are animating debates and nourishing minds to compete inventively to achieve truly sustainable development worldwide. This conference aims to trace the thread of sustainability for key development actors including researchers, decision makers, international organisations and civil society. We will explore normative approaches and the challenges of sustainable development and related policies for sub-Saharan Africa.
