dc.description.abstractA call for new approaches and knowledge systems has emerged, to map the way forward for the ‘Sustainable Development Goals’ in Africa.6 Public health on the continent, calls for an approach to effect changes to reach the goals proposed by the World Health Organization.7 It is against this backdrop that the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) are proposed as a framework of implementation for specific Sustainable Development Goals.8 The DOHaD concept identifies the origins of health and disease, and also elucidates early mechanisms for achieving these goals. Numerous Sustainable Development Goals are specifically applicable to the DOHaD concept, and DOHaD and Sustainable Development Goals have immense synergistic potential. The chapter identifies gaps in which DOHaD may offer direct, informed solutions to the hurdles encountered in Sustainable Development Goals achievement strategies, and these have direct public health implications for the continent.en_ZA
