 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Tens of millions of Africans will continue to go hungry over the next 20 years unless major changes in trade and aid policies are enacted, a research institute said Thursday.
More than 38 million children will suffer from malnutrition in 2025 if trends continue, and current policies will do little to improve long-term prospects, the International Food Policy Research Institute predicted in a report.
With millions already suffering from severe food shortages in the semiarid nations along the Sahara, known as the Sahel, the report said the entire continent needed at least $303 billion in new investments to reduce hunger.
