The
African Union Commission (AUC) has said that over 54 million kids in Africa
under the age of five years go hungry and urged leaders in Africa to work together to tackle malnutrition and
under-development on the continent, NaijaAgroNet reports.
The
AUC made this disclosure as the African leaders, agriculture and nutrition
experts from the private and public sector marked this year’s Africa Food and
Nutrition Security Day in Niamey, Niger, to tackle malnutrition and
under-development on the continent.
The
AUC Commissioner for Rural Economy and Agriculture, H.E Tumusiime Rhoda Peace,
said “The African Union Commission accords special importance to
this year’s day as a prelude to 2014 the AU declared Year of Agriculture and
Food and Nutrition Security and also marking the 10th anniversary of the
comprehensive Africa agriculture development programme.
Peace
said that the day remains an opportunity for all AU member states, governments
and partners to heighten awareness and reinforce commitment to accelerating the
collective efforts towards a food and nutrition secure Africa, while the Africa
Agenda 2063 will be considered for adoption by AU heads of state and government
at their summit to be held in January next year.
The Chief Executive Officer of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development Agency, Dr Ibrahim Mayaki, said “Proven solutions for food and nutrition security challenges already exist and needed to be replicated. The era of pilot projects is long gone and it is now time to take action. The private sector is a valuable partner in the fight against malnutrition whereas civil society remains our most important voice of conscience”.
