"The papers in this volume are refreshing: technically sound and effectively critical of policies (in the country and regional context). They are by no means cut from one ideological cloth. In the piles of new publications about the SDGs this book really stands out." – Nancy Birdsall, Founding President, Center for Global Development, USA​
