Extraordinary efforts and actions required to achieve the SDGs, are beginning to coxless the partnership that we are building across national governments, civil society and the private sector.\u2019\u2019   <\/p>\n<p>According to him, as the Co-Chair, he has taken a strategic decision to prioritize championing accelerated implementation of the goals in Africa.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019I am compelled to do this because sadly, the deficit in human development, is highest in our continent.
