The Africa Institute at Western University was created to advance scholarship related to African societies. The Institute is an interdisciplinary entity with the participation of many diverse faculty members, staff and students from across campus. Its members are building sustainable collaborations and partnerships with African peoples and institutions to foster initiatives that address some of the most pressing issues facing the African continent. Partnerships forged by the members of the Institute extend over several sectors including, but not limited to: research, health, education, business, government, engineering, and arts and literature.
For an overview of the status of African countries with respect to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) you can peruse the 2020 Africa SDG Report. This report shows the progress toward SDGc goals and a preliminary analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on the SDGs in Africa. To view the SDG performance by country you can visit the SDG Interactive Dashboard where you can also identify the rating and trends for each country.
