Africa set to miss target on hunger

AFRICA is set to miss the goal to achieve zero hunger by 2030, Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)’s regional representative for Africa, Abebe Haile-Gabriel, has said.

Haile-Gabriel said this during a review of progress made by the continent towards attaining that goal so far at the Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development (ARFSD) which is currently underway in Congo Brazzaville.

The meeting was co-organised by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the World Food Programme (WFP), in collaboration with the government of the Republic of Congo.
