This paper examines the institutional strength, governance, internal and external conflict, and economic growth to support the achievement of MDGs, as well as bringing development by analyzing the disparity among some African countries’ progress towards achieving MDGs. In general, nobody will deny the importance of MDGs, but in Africa, development actors should intensely analyze, as the saying goes, ‘whether the cart is ahead of the horse”. Economic development supported by good governance, strong institutions and a conflict free environment can be the horse to pull the MDGs cart and can be an instrument to sustain and ensure spillover achievements. Provision of basic needs to the least developed countries might be necessary for short‐term relief, but, for a sustainable, long‐term development, the development community needs to pay more serious attention to the transformation of a productive structure and capabilities.
Abstract
This paper examines the institutional strength, governance, internal and external conflict, and economic growth to support the achievement of MDGs, as well as bringing development by analyzing the disparity among some African countries’ progress towards achieving MDGs. In general, nobody will deny the importance of MDGs, but in Africa, development actors should intensely analyze, as the saying goes, ‘whether the cart is ahead of the horse”. Economic development supported by good governance, strong institutions and a conflict free environment can be the horse to pull the MDGs cart and can be an instrument to sustain and ensure spillover achievements. Provision of basic needs to the least developed countries might be necessary for short‐term relief, but, for a sustainable, long‐term development, the development community needs to pay more serious attention to the transformation of a productive structure and capabilities.
