Africa Food Trade (Voice of America)

Informal markets and street vendors play a critical role in many African cities. In a study of 11 African cities, 70 percent of households regularly purchase their food from informal markets. Danielle Resnick, senior research fellow, appeared on Voice of America’s Africa 54 to discuss how governments can balance between a growing middle class interested in transport mobility and clean streets with a lower class dependent on informal markets for food and employment.
