Sub-Saharan African countries face multiple complex factors contributing to their underdevelopment. These include historical legacies of colonization, political instability, corruption, limited access to education and healthcare, inadequate infrastructure, high poverty rates, and external debt burdens. Additionally, challenges like environmental issues, disease prevalence (e.g., HIV/AIDS and malaria), and ethnic conflicts further hinder progress. Addressing these multifaceted issues through sustainable policies, investments, and international cooperation is essential to promote development in the region. These and many more issues have been discussed very well in the above book written by Vic Benuyenah. The book seeks to enlighten Sub-Saharan African countries on the need to ensure the sustainability of their societies.
