AnnotationLooks at the UN's new international development agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as they apply to African member states from 2015 with specific references to ageing. These references include targeting improvements in Africa's health, education and farming systems for older age. It is argued that Africa may show a unique readiness to embrace the imperative of considering older people in SDGs, despite remaining the youngest world region. (JL).
