This book assesses the roadmap for the implementation of the SDGs
in South Asia, focusing in particular on the areas of poverty
reduction, inequality, health/well-being and water and sanitation.
South Asia is amongst the fastest growing regions in the world,
with an aggregate GDP in excess of two trillion US dollars, but at
the same time it has significant deficits in human development,
with 37 per cent of the world's poor and nearly half of the world's
malnourished children. For South Asia, the United Nations'
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a constructive
opportunity to end many of the region's deprivations in a
time-bound and systematic manner. Starting with the legacy of the
Millennium Development Goals, the book goes on to provide a
country-by-country overview of strategies for addressing the
problems of poverty, health, water and sanitation. South-South
Cooperation and in particular the South Asian Association for
Regional Cooperation (SAARC) are discussed and, finally, the
editors present a summary of policy priorities for social
development. This book aims to be a useful resource for
researchers, policy influencers, planners, implementers, students,
and activists aiming to push to achieve the SDGs.
