Descripción
The 2008 food crises brought global attention to the unacceptable persistenceof food insecurity and malnutrition, and its socio-economic consequences.Africa remained the continent with the highest prevalence of stunting, withmalnutrition, including undernutrition, overnutrition and micronutrientdeficiencies, still a huge challenge on the continent. Recognizing poornutrition as an impediment to development, African leaders joined theirglobal counterparts in dedicating the Second Sustainable Development Goalto nutrition and committed, under the Malabo Declaration of 2014, to doingbusiness differently in order to reduce undernutrition on the continent.Following the success of an initial German-funded project to support foodsecurity, nutrition and livelihoods, a new phase was needed to encouragegovernments, regional organizations and their development partners to adoptpolicies and implement strategies that maximize the nutritional impact andsustainability of food and agriculture systems.
