Save african children

African countries have a combined 58 million children who are stunted, meaning they are too short for their age, according to FAO.

The African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) are looking for $100 million over the next five years for investing in agriculture to end hunger in Africa and create wealth.

More than 243 million people of Africa's 1.2 billion population are hungry, according to statistics from FAO. The two institutions yesterday agreed to jointly boost efforts aimed at catalysing investment in Africa's agriculture sector to end hunger and malnutrition.

Their strategic alliance includes commitment to raise funds to promote food security, sustainable agriculture and rural development. Specifically, the new strategic alliance seeks to enhance the quality and impact of investment in food security, nutrition, social protection, agriculture, forestry, fisheries and rural development
