South Asia is one of the fastest-growing regions in the world, but it also has significant deficits in human development. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a chance to end these deprivations, and the book provides a country-by-country overview of strategies for addressing poverty, health, water, and sanitation. South-South Cooperation and the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) are discussed, and policy priorities for social development are presented.

South Asia is a rapidly growing region with an impressive aggregate GDP of over two trillion US dollars, but it faces significant challenges in terms of human development. With 37% of the world's poor and nearly half of the world's malnourished children, the region needs urgent action to address these deprivations. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a valuable opportunity for South Asia to tackle these issues in a systematic and time-bound manner.
The book begins by examining the legacy of the Millennium Development Goals and then provides a comprehensive country-by-country overview of strategies for addressing poverty, health, water, and sanitation. Special attention is given to South-South Cooperation, particularly through the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), as a means of promoting regional collaboration and sharing best practices.
The editors conclude the book by presenting a summary of policy priorities for social development in South Asia. This resource is intended to be a valuable tool for researchers, policy influencers, planners, implementers, students, and activists who are committed to achieving the SDGs. By examining the roadmap for implementing the SDGs in South Asia, this book aims to contribute to the ongoing efforts to promote sustainable development and create a more equitable and prosperous future for the region.
