English
African countries are facing challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A lack of financial resources is contributing to their struggles, compounded by inadequate spending patterns depriving the continent of the resources it needs for its development. Countries across the continent need to rein in wasteful public spending and focus on boosting activities to tackle a tepid COVID-19 recovery to put the SDGs back on track.
