I am reading Schmidt-Traub's (2015) Report for the Sustainable Development Solutions Network "Investments Needs to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals" to learn about comprehensive cost estimates on the country-level. The report gives many useful references, but it seems that as of November 2015 only global data (and only very sparse country-level data) is available for SDGs 14 and 15.

You cannot get enough data for your work especially from Africa because the SDGs just like the SAP and the MDGs were designed to fail by the IMF.If only five goals of the MDGs could not be achieved, then how can we get any good results from the SDGs 17 points agenda?An American scholar, sponsored by his government came to lecture us on the benefits of the Structural Adjustment Program to Africa.When i asked if he would have accepted the reduction of his salary and the devaluation of the American dollar,he said he would not have accepted it.There was conspiratorial silence in the hall.I will not be surprise if Europe has already developed another development program for the poor countries of the world including Africa because they know the SDGs will fail.Let us research first on why the SAP & the MDGs failed woefully in Africa before we talk about the SDGs.Another Marshall Plan for Africa should be what Europe should be telling the world and not a series of DGs.
