SDG 4 scorecard progress report on national benchmarks in Africa

This brochure presents a summary for Africa of the findings from the second global assessment of country progress towards the benchmarks. The assessment covers the period since 2015 and reviews the probability that each country will achieve its 2025 benchmark or – where such a benchmark was not set – the value they would have achieved if they had progressed at the historic (2000–15) rate of the fastest improving 25% of countries. Four categories capture the speed of progress – and its implication for the probability of achieving the benchmark – and two categories recognize the non-availability of data.
