The challenge of reducing hunger and
poverty in Africa is formidable. Despite
pledges by Africa and the industrialized
countries at the 1996 World Food Summit
to cut hunger in half by 2015, little progress has been made. But there are reasons to believe that these trends can change, even in the near future. The events of September 11 have caused the world to consider how factors such as poverty and hunger can create breeding grounds for global instability. Conditions in Africa are also improving in many respects. A number of countries are making solid progress in governance and economic reform. New markets are opening and new technology is becoming available that will allow greater growth in agriculture and the rural sector in Africa. These factors offer renewed hope that,working together,we can reduce African poverty and hunger.
