Book Synopsis International Food Assistance: A U. S. Governmentwide Strategy Could Accelerate Progress Toward Global Food Security by : Thomas Melito
Book excerpt: The number of undernourished people worldwide now exceeds 1 billion. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest prevalence of food insecurity, with 1 out of every 3 people undernourished. Global targets were set to halve the number and proportion of under-nourished people by 2015. It has been recommended that the USAID, in collaboration with the Sec. of Agr., State, and the Treasury develop an integrated governmentwide U.S. strategy that defines actions with specific time frames and resource commitments, enhances collaboration, and improves measures to monitor progress. This testimony discusses host gov¿t. and donor efforts to halve hunger, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, by 2015. Charts and tables.
