Agenda 2030 and the library
Libraries drive progress across the entire agenda by providing space and resources for studies and research on topics connected to SDG challenges. NAI library activities particularly support goals 4, 11.4, 16 and 17.
Part of the infrastructure
The special library at the Nordic Africa institute is part of the infrastructure for research and studies on Africa in the Nordic countries. The large collection is in many ways unique. A third of the collection originates from the African continent. Providing both local and global perspectives, the collection and the librarians facilitate for students, researchers and policymakers to analyze challenges on the continent connected to the SDGs.
The institute actively brings in an African perspective. The library contributes to the information flow South to North but also South to South by the collection itself and by the bibliographical information produced during collection building. Well integrated in the library infrastructure, the library adds unique content to different international search portals.
