This book provides a clear and detailed examination of why it is so difficult to secure comprehensive political engagement and actionable, effective policy on sexual and reproductive health rights in sub-Saharan Africa. In an engaging analysis, Nana Poku employs expert knowledge to examine the prospects for large-scale improvements. He explores not only the full range of normative sensitivities, but also conceptual misunderstandings, legal difficulties and complex challenges of securing and maintaining adequate funding while AIDS remains a pandemic in the region. Up-to-date, succinct yet highly detailed, lucid and compelling in its diagnoses of highly complex issues, this book is a valuable, accessible study of a topic that is regional in focus but with clear global implications.

Nana K. Poku is the Vice Chancellor and Principal of the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) and Executive Director of the Health Economics and AIDS Research Division (HEARD). He currently serves as the Principal Advisor to the United Nations Secretary General on Africa and his work on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights is funded by Swedish International Development Corporation (SIDA). He was formerly Executive Director, United Nations Commission on HIV/AIDS and Governance in Africa (2003–5) and Director of Operational Research, World Bank AIDS Treatment Acceleration Programme (2004–6).
