- W2562093669 abstract "The idea of sustainable development as a universal desideratum led to the formulation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2000 with 2015 as their target. They were designed to mitigate fundamental problems that impinge upon human wellbeing or the attainment of a good life in developing societies. With barely five years to the target of 2015, this paper contends that despite marginal and disparate improvements in quality of life in Africa, the MDGs have been doomed to be unattained on the continent from the onset. A reason usually offered for this conclusion is that the real needs of many African nations are greater and deeper than what could be addressed by the minimalist goals of the MDGs. Another is lack of commitment on the part of some key stakeholders. This paper contends that beyond the often identified reasons, the MDGs cannot be achieved in Africa because while they focus on the physical and mental domains of the human person, they completely ignore what Anyiam-Osigwe identifies as the third dimension of human nature: spiritual/moral dimension. Deriving from Anyiam Osigwe’s position on human spirituality, the thesis of this paper is that the MDGs need to be reformulated to accommodate the crucial spiritual/moral aspect of human nature for them to be effective in addressing the challenges of development in Africa. With Anyiam-Osigwe’s understanding of human spirituality/morality in terms of an awareness and respect for the intricate interconnection and interdependence of all humans and also between humanity and divinity, the paper elucidates how the MDGs could be modified to render them more achievable in Africa." @default.
