Today I had an opportunity to attend the global hunger conference in UCC. I met some of my sponsors and heard about the wonderful work they are doing in Africa, in terms of Aid. The conference was mainly focused on achieving the second sustainable development goal, ‘Zero Hunger’. To achieve the second sustainable goal, Africa and other South Asian countries, should use a holistic approach to combat malnutrition, which focuses beyond increasing production. The approach should focus on several issues such as, raising household incomes, investing in maternal education, improving sanitation and improving maternal and child health. Furthermore, funding initiatives should be monitored through impact assessments at a local level, to ensure that funding aid and other development systems reach poor communities.
