In 2015 WUN formed a Global Africa Group to enhance the opportunities – enabled by our global network – to build research collaborations, innovations and impact in support of Africa’s development agenda. The Global Africa Group builds on the existing expertise and international partnerships amongst the Worldwide Universities Network’s members, in Africa and abroad, to identify sustainable and equitable solutions to critical local, regional and global challenges of relevance to Africa.
This is one of the first academic publications to comprehensively and critically engage with the intersection of the Sustainable Development Goals and African development agendas. Published by Springer in 2019, it presents multidisciplinary research that captures the necessary complexity and breadth of the theory and practice of sustainable development on the continent.
