This edited volume assesses the progress that sub-Saharan African countries have made towards gender equality and offers strategies that can be used to empower African women to contribute to the fulfilment of the United Nations' (UN) 2030 sustainable development goals (SDGs). The contributing authors consider the goals identified during the 1995United Nations World Conference on Women and the 2015 UN World Conference on Sustainable Development in New York―includingno poverty, healthy life, quality education, gender equality, peace and justice, reduced inequalities, and decent work and economic growth―and document the advances made on these goals, with a special emphasis on African women's experiences.They provide innovative ideas for accelerating achievement of the SDGs and address challenges and opportunities in tourism, business, politics, entrepreneurship, academia, financial inclusion, and the digital gender divide.
