Tobin, editor1st ed.New York Nova Science Publishersc20091 online resource (126 p.)NovinkaDescription based upon print version of record.1-60692-178-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Results in brief -- Background -- Food insecurity persists in sub-Saharan Africa due to several factors, including low agricultural productivity -- Efforts of host governments and donors, including the United States, toward halving hunger in sub-Saharan Africa by 2015 have been insufficient.In 1996, the United States and more than 180 world leaders pledged to halve the number of undernourished people globally by 2015 from the 1990 level. The global number has not decreased significantly -- remaining at about 850 million in 2001-2003 -- and the number in sub-Saharan Africa has increased from about 170 million in 1990-1992 to over 200 million in 2001-2003. On the basis of analyses of U.S. and international agency documents, structured panel discussions with experts and practitioners, and fieldwork in four African countries, the author was asked to examine (1) factors that contribute to persistent food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa and (2) the extent to which host governments and donors, including the United States, are working toward halving hunger in the region by 2015.Novinka (Series)Food reliefAfrica, Sub-SaharanEconomic assistanceAfrica, Sub-SaharanFood reliefEconomic assistance363.80967Tobin James C1868548MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972504203321Hunger efforts and food security4476511UNINA
