Call for Chapters: Institution Development for Sustainable and Inclusive Economic Growth in Africa

Description: 

This publication from IGI Global aims to focus on building strong and viable institutional frameworks that can engender the sustainable utilisation and management of resources for the sustainable development agenda in Africa, as well as to promote economic growth that is inclusive and sustainable. As a continent that is vast and varied, there are differing narratives that have shaped the trends in the economic development trajectories across African countries. Thus, it is not surprising that African countries are pursuing a number of development agendas towards achieving economic growth that are inclusive, pro-poor and sustainable, particularly the type that can unleash the potentials of women and the booming youthful population. As expected, efforts are being made in a host of African countries to have country-specific visions (e.g. Vision 2030 of Algeria, Kenya, and South Africa) that are in tandem with the African Union’s Agenda 2063 and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This publication seeks strategies for building resilient institutional frameworks for sustainable resource management, sustainable development, and inclusive growth. It anticipates extending the frontiers of knowledge by soliciting quality contributions from academics and practitioners that highlight and address the above issues with relevant and actionable recommendations.
