Book Description
In September 2000, world leaders from 189 countries, including 147 Heads of State, gathered at the United Nations General Assembly to consider the challenges of the new millennium. They adopted the Millennium Declaration, which set out a vision for inclusive and sustainable globalization (UN 2000 (A/RES/55/2)). The leaders pledged to work towards ensuring that conditions of extreme poverty are eradicated wherever they existed. To actualise this declaration, the UN established eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to be achieved by 2015. The goals were broken down into 18 concrete targets and 48 indicators to track progresses in implementation. For the past 14 years thereafter, countries in sub-Saharan Africa have been striving to achieve the goals. So far, some have achieved some of the goals, and the results toward the rest of the goals are also by and large positive, though off-target. This book brings together results of studies on progresses and challenges in the implementation of the MDGs in Lesotho, Kenya, Botswana, Madagascar, Tanzania, Ghana, Uganda and Nigeria. The authors focus on selected goals as cases. The book also presents lessons that can inform the post-2015 development agenda.

Book Description
This project aims at finding out if Nigeria's main aim is just to achieve the Millennium development goals or if the Millennium development goals will be a means to push Nigeria towards long term development. Also, it examines the role of International, intergovermental and regional organizations in leading Nigeria towards the achievement of the 8 goals. Taken into consideration that 2015 is fast approaching, this project also assessed the progress that has been made.

Book Description
The nation Nigeria, was one of the 50 richest countries in the world in the early 1970s, but has retrogressed to become one of the 25 poorest countries at threshold of the twenty first century. It is ironic that Nigeria is the sixth largest exporter of oil and at the same time harbors the third largest number of poor people after china and India. What a paradox, but that indeed is the reality today. However, the United Nations Millennium Development agenda is comprehensively addressing the core problems of under-development and primitiveness that continues to set Nigeria back since independence. In September 2000, leaders from 189 nations ratified the Millennium Declaration. The declaration was an unprecedented global commitment and one of the most significant United Nations documents in recent times. It offers a common and integrated vision on how to tackle some of the major challenges facing the world of our time. The declaration has resulted in Eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) focused on reducing poverty, improving the quality of peoples' lives, ensuring environmental sustainability, and building partnerships to ensure that globalization becomes a more positive force for all the world's people. Also specific targets and indicators have been set and put in place for each of the goals, to be achieved by 2015. This study attempted to identify the key roles financial institutions particularly Micro Finance Banks can play in helping to achieve these MDGs objectives in target time in Nigeria.The study offered the following recommendations amongst others; the need for re-engagement in entrepreneurial development through integrated microfinance model and it also suggested that major efforts should be made to remove the critical material, institutional and policy obstacles that prevent the rural poor from seizing opportunities for improved livelihoods in ways that they themselves can sustain and improve upon.

Book Description
With the target date for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) behind us, this book asks did they work? And what happens next? Arguing that to effectively look forward, we must first look back, the editors of this insightful book gather leading scholars and practitioners from a range of backgrounds and regions to provide an in-depth exploration of the MDG project and its impact. Contributors use region-specific case studies to explore the effectiveness of the MDGs in addressing the root causes of poverty, including resource geographies, early childhood development and education, women’s rights and disability rights as well as the impact of the global financial crisis and Arab Spring on MDG attainment. Providing a critical assessment that seeks to inform future policy decisions, the book will be valuable to those working in the development community as well as to academics and students of international development, international relations and development economics.

Book Description
Millennium development goals (MDGs) and sustainable development goals (SDGs) have significant implications for global development, in particular for African countries. This book seeks to assist Africa’s policy makers and political leaders, MNCs and NGOs, plus its increasingly heterogeneous media landscape, to understand and better respond or negotiate the evolving development environment of the 21st century. In this collection of nuanced essays, the contributors interrogate the relationship between the MDGs and SDGs in key areas of African development to enhance our understanding and knowledge of the evolving nature of development. They address issues of governance, agriculture, south-south cooperation in a context of foreign aid, natural resource governance and sustainable development, export diversification and economic growth as well as emerging topics such as the internet of things or the sharing economy, climate change, conflict and non-traditional security. The varied, yet interlinked foci present a holistic overview of Africa’s development aspirations, and ability to transform the SDGs’ universal aspirations into local realities. This book will be of use to academics and students in Development Studies, Contemporary African Studies, Political Science, Policy Studies and Geography, and should also appeal to policy makers and development practitioners.
