Part of the book series: Rethinking International Development Series ((RID))

Abstract

The 2015 deadline set for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is fast approaching. In the coming years, governments around the world will not only evaluate development progress attributable to the MDGs, a centrepiece of the global development agenda, but will also reflect on how their policy priorities and organisational structures should be configured to address both the unmet challenges of the present day and the challenges of the future. This book is designed to provide policymakers and development researchers with a tool for thinking about how the context within which development policy will respond could change over the long term. Its focus is on exploring the changing African development landscape and the implications of developments in Africa for European development cooperation.
