Low-income countries around the world are experiencing challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The project "Governance for the SDGs (SustGOV)" focuses on policy coherence, which is of key importance for achieving sustainable development. In collaboration with the University of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and University of Malawi, Malawi, the project will involve both research and teaching in relation to sustainable development.
For example, the project partners will establish a new PhD programme at the University of Addis Ababa, and provide short teaching modules in Malawi with public officials as an important target group.
Professor Dan Banik will lead the project, which will be his second NORHED project as project leader. Over the past five years, through NORHED I, we have had the great pleasure of establishing a new Master's Program in Public Policy at Chancellor College in Malawi.
I look forward to continuing this collaboration with colleagues in Malawi at the same time as we begin a collaboration with the University of Addis Ababa.
The SustGov project is one of 60 projects that has been granted funds from the NORHED II call at The Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation.
