 Policy Brief No.9 | September 2025
 By: Saheed Akinmayowa Lawal

Africa is at the centre of a growing global polycrisis in an era characterized by overlapping crises including climate change, debt distress, pandemics, and governance failures. These interconnected threats are compounding structural vulnerabilities and stalling progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This policy brief addresses the critical question: How can Africa overcome the systemic barriers posed by polycrisis to achieve the SDGs by 2030?
