Overview

Eleven original case studies make up this volume on sustainable development in Africa, carefully selected from presentations at a series of Sustainable Development Workshops organised by eight partner universities. The book is one answer to the critical appeal for greater research efforts aimed at understanding Africa's challenges as they pertain to poverty reduction and climate change. Its contributors include faculty and graduates of the three master's programmes in Sustainable Urban Development, Sustainable Integrated Rural Development and Mining and Mineral Resources coordinated by the eight partner African universities who make up the Education for Sustainable Development in Africa (ESDA) initiative. This initiative is administered by the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS) in Tokyo, Japan. The volume is part of the ESDA book series that serves primarily as undergraduate and graduate instruction materials for courses on sustainable development in Africa. It also seeks to inform policy initiatives on development issues on the continent.
