There is only one road left to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set for Africa for 2030 and that’s through sustainable businesses. For the sluggish progress to date has been primarily a consequence of ‘putting all our eggs in one basket’ and expecting the State to deliver the SDGs, which it cannot.
A prime obstacle in that is finance. The SDG Centre for Africa estimates the financing gap to achieve the SDGs is running at between $500 billion and $1.2 trillion a year.
