Abstract: The article discusses issues related to the effectiveness of implementing sustainable development in the African Sahel region, with a particular focus on the third goal of this concept: good health and well-being. The study analyzes indicators characterizing Goal 3: ”Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”. Within this scope, nine specific objectives or tasks were identified, contributing to the overall objectives of the area. The research aims to assess the spatial differentiation of Sahel-region countries dynamically in terms of sustainable development indicators. In conclusion, the Sahel region requires clear support from the international community, and it is commendable that the UN Support Plan for the Sahel aims to intensify efforts for shared prosperity and lasting peace by implementing priorities to achieve the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development in the Sahel countries and the broader region.
