Centre for Civil Society Seminar
Planning for Sustainable Development Goals: An Analysis of National Development Plans from 39 African Countries

Speaker: Admos Chimhowu
Date: Friday 8 December 2017
Time: 13h00-14h00
Venue: CCS Seminar Room A726, Level 7, Shepstone, Howard College, UKZN

Topic 

Unlike the Millennium Development Goals which were largely top-down in the way they came into existence and the way they were implemented, the Sustainable Development Goals are based on home grown priorities and in theory this means a more participatory way of producing plans. This seminar will focus on the rationalities that underpin contemporary national development plans (blueprint versus communicative) before looking at the results of preliminary analysis of national development plans from 39 African countries. The focus is on understanding content, priorities, duration, sponsors and financing. The seminar will also consider why plans are produced and some of the proximate and ultimate determinants of elite commitment to plans. The seminar will conclude with a discussion of implications for the way countries plan and implement sustainable development goals. 

Speaker Bio

He currently holds an ESRC Strategic Network Grant that is looking at the way countries are planning for sustainable development goals (see website http://nationalplanning.org).
