Transition towards eradication of poverty in Africa

The study examines the extent of poverty in an African context from a holistic perspective before discussing trends and determining whether poverty has worsened or improved over time. The study also identifies barriers to SDG One implementation in the region. The study aims to investigate the different interventions needed to implement SDG One successfully. Finding answers to the guiding question involved adopting a qualitative desktop study and gathering data by analysing various secondary documents.
