The book delves into the intricate relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development in Africa, offering fresh and critical insights. While the impact of CSR initiatives on sustainable development in Africa remains a subject of debate, this book provides a comprehensive examination of how, when, and to what extent CSR can contribute to the realization of sustainable development goals, peace, and environmental sustainability at the micro-levels of society. It also explores macro-level issues such as the relationship between taxation and CSR, CSR and human rights, and CSR and public governance, challenging existing CSR dogmas.

The book is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), providing valuable practical guidance for policymakers and business leaders seeking to understand the strengths and limitations of CSR as a tool for advancing sustainable development in Africa. It will also appeal to scholars, researchers, and students of African studies, development studies, international business, strategic management, and business and society.

In conclusion, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics between CSR and sustainable development in Africa. It offers insightful analysis, practical guidance, and a wealth of knowledge for policymakers, business leaders, scholars, and students alike.
