As we approach the UN Summit of the Future, it has never been more vital to stir critical dialogue on the work to transform multilateralism to accelerate sustainable development and build durable peace and security, including in Africa. In this context, the importance of African scholarship to the global dialogue is central, as the continent seeks to reclaim its rightful place at the global leadership table. This includes highlighting scholarship from across Africa, where the impact of an outdated international mechanism to boost the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are strongly felt.

In line with the UN Secretary-General’s call that “We can’t build a future for our grandchildren with a system built for our grandparents” in the lead up to the Summit of the Future while presenting an outcome of the Academic Conference, the UN Office of the Special Adviser on Africa (OSAA) and the SDG Academy of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) are launching a Special Issue of the African Journal of Sustainable Development (AJSD) focused on African scholarship related to the SDGs, multilateral cooperation, and the future of global governance.
