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.

Africa needs to boost education in Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics (STEM) to develop its human capital and accelerate progress toward the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development Goals and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. While African countries have been boosting access to STEM education, challenges remain, undermining these initiatives across the continent.
