Evergreen Agriculture: Solving Hunger in Africa



公開日: 2012/04/19
Hunger in Africa is not a fatality! All African farmers need are appropriate techniques that raise yields, protect the soil against heavy rain or harsh sunlight, and build up its life-giving biomass. Agroforestry, trees on farms, evergreen agriculture are the "open sesame" to greater food security.

African Human Development Report 2012 



公開日: 2012/05/15
Sub-Saharan Africa cannot sustain its present economic resurgence unless it eliminates the hunger that affects nearly a quarter of its people, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) argues in the African Human Development Report 2012: Towards a Food Secure Future, the first report of its kind on the state of the continent of Africa.

"Impressive GDP growth rates in Africa have not translated into the elimination of hunger and malnutrition. Inclusive growth and people-centred approaches to food security are needed," said UNDP Administrator Helen Clark at the launch today, attended by Kenya's President Mwai Kibaki.

Arguing that action focused on agriculture alone will not end food insecurity either, the Report calls for new approaches covering multiple sectors; from rural infrastructure to health services, to new forms of social protection and empowering local communities. Ensuring that the poor and vulnerable have greater voice through strengthened local government and civil society groups is also needed to ensure food security for all.

The quickening pace of change and new economic vitality on the continent make this an opportune time for action, the Report says.

"It is a harsh paradox that in a world of food surpluses, hunger and malnutrition remain pervasive on a continent with ample agricultural endowments," says Tegegnework Gettu, Director of UNDP's Africa Bureau.

Horn of Africa Hunger Crisis


公開日: 2012/07/23
Drought in the Horn of Africa, coupled with conflict in Somalia, has affected over 13 million people. As I began researching the topic I learned how devastating it really is and I am trying to bring a small change into this world. Whether it be feeding 1 family or 100 families the choice is up to you to decide. To try to grasp the devastation our food crisis is at right now a few facts might help:

Hunger is the biggest health risk currently in the world. Larger than AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis combined.

One in seven people go to bed hungry each night

One in four children in developing countries are underweight

There are more hungry people in the world than the population of the USA, Canada, and the Europe Union combined.

Undernutrition contributes to five million deaths of children under five each year in developing countries.

Though as devastating as these facts are with your financial support we could help not all of them but as many as possible. Thank your for your effort, time and donations.

How to Save a Child's Life



公開日: 2012/07/19
Over 18 million people across west Africa are facing a major hunger crisis. If you want to know how you can help us save the lives of children affected by this crisis, please watch this film. The secret of saving lives is spotting malnourished children early enough. We need to double the number of children screened at our outreach centres to meet this growing need. That's why we need your continued support.

Save the Children is supporting government health centres and stabilisation clinics in across west Africa. We're on the ground, urgently working to reach vulnerable families but we need your help. You can find out more about our West Africa appeal at http://bit.ly/SaveTheChildrenWestAfrica
