Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
  • World Food Summit (1996) and Millennium Declaration (2000)
    • Pledges by Africa and industrialized countries
    • Target: Halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger between 1990 and 2015.
    • Indicator: Prevalence of underweight children (under 5 years of age)
  • The challenge of reducing poverty and hunger in Sub-Saharan Africa is formidable.
  • Despite pledges, little progress has been made
  • Poverty and hunger problems have been worsening
