The U.S. government is announcing the expansion of Feed the Future to eight new target countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zambia. These countries were prioritized based on a combination of underlying food insecurity, poverty and malnutrition, including impacts from Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, as well as the opportunity \u2013 and each government\u2019s commitment \u2013 to tackle these deep-rooted issues in partnership with us. In these countries, the U.S. government takes a coordinated approach to its investments and in turn, paves the way for further resources and investments from other actors, such as the private sector, donors and local governments.<\/p>\n<p>This expands Feed the Future\u2019s global footprint from 12 to 20 target countries and delivers on President Biden\u2019s commitment in September 2021 of $5 billion over five years to end global hunger and malnutrition and build sustainable, resilient food systems. Feed the Future programming responds to each country\u2019s level of need and harnesses the power of agriculture to drive economic growth and transform food systems in the country and the region.<\/p>\n<p>To respond to the global food security crisis, Feed the Future is focusing on four major lines of effort: mitigating the global fertilizer shortage, increasing investments in agricultural capacity and resilience, cushioning the macroeconomic shock and impact on poor people, and sustaining high-level global political engagement As a new Feed the Future target country, the U.S. Embassy through USAID\/Liberia is contributing to these efforts by:<\/p>\n<p>Funded at more than $1 billion per year, Feed the Future has existing technical expertise, programs and partners in more than 35 countries being leveraged to mitigate the impacts of this latest global shock and address the root causes of poverty, hunger and malnutrition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
