Donors must double investments to stamp out hunger (ReliefWeb)

October 12, 2020


Reliefweb published an article on the latest findings from Ceres2030: ‘Sustainable Solutions to End Hunger that states if donors double their investments and spend the money wisely, they could help end hunger by 2030, a coalition of research groups said in a call-to-action ahead of World Food Day. 

Donors must spend an additional US$14 billion on average each year between now and 2030, roughly double what they currently spend on aid for food security and nutrition. Senior Research Fellow David Laborde said, “We found that if donors double their aid, alongside poorer countries also increasing spending from their own budgets, then by the end of the decade we could end hunger, double the incomes of 545 million small-scale farmers, and limit agricultural emissions in line with the Paris climate agreement.” Republished in DevelopmentAid.orgKaiser Family Foundation (KFF) NewsDirektbrokerCRWE NewsAd Hoc News
