From Cairo to Lagos - still can't do? See maps.

Africa’s international road network has missing links, while administrative and regulatory barriers block existing connections - AfDB (African Development Bank infrastructureafrica.org for details)

The Trans-African Highway still has long gaps

Also:
...only 1 in 3 rural Africans has access to an all-season road;  but [roads] critical to raising agricultural productivity.
...in cities, road construction has not kept pace with urbanization...mobility problems caused by too few paved roads and inadequate public transportation systems.
...road freight will continue to be costly and inefficient until competition in the trucking industry is increased and barriers to trade are lifted.

Google Maps shows no gap, and suggests you could make the trip in a few days.  Maybe not advisable?  Then the more direct route takes you through a couple of war/strife zones.

Rail is worse: in the context of transcontinental travel, let's just say trains are nonexistent.  (Or do we just need a new map - this map is old)

You would think Lagos, Cairo, each with about 20million inhabitants, are not so far apart that they should 'feel' so far apart.  On my wish-list for 2020... Till then, thank God for air travel.  And the internet.

Where the world is going

The Sustainable development goals (2015 - 2030)
are to be determined in meetings and international consultations before the end of 2015.
Picking up where the MDGs left off, the SDGs will guide international development for the next 15 years.

Proposed Sustainable Development Goals, February 2015

In summary, the target is basic provision (of food and health for instance) for more people as in the MDGs (see chart), but now we want to cover 'all' people while taking environmental and social costs into account (via peace, pollution, equality, community, ...)  Anyway, the goals are still being worked on.

I don't see 'decent work for all' being possible unless we create new sinks for human effort, or redefine and share/distribute work. (See 'The world can afford to shrink the workweek')

As a complement to this, we need to promote play.  How best to do so?
We have earned the right to leisure, it would seem, with all our work-saving machines.  Let them work.
