Abstract
Africa is rich in human capital and natural resources with potential to realize the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) even without foreign aid. Taking Uganda as a case study, this paper argues that Africa’s failure to effectively meet the MDGs is due to the deficit of political leadership and ineffective governance. Strengthening democratic political leadership and governance is the best and fastest strategy for envisioning a post 2015 humane and sustainable development agenda. While national and international forces such as the global market, climate change and the economic downturn are affecting Africa’s progress, democratic leadership and governance would have averted the impasses long before the inception of the MDGs.
