Why #United4Food Campaign? There is increased suffering from extremes in weather - with either too much rain or not enough - meaning small scale farmers can no longer grow as much as they used to. Fresh & Young Brains Development Initiative(FBIN) HEDA Resource Centre

Why #United4Food Campaign? With an increasing population but less food being grown, food prices are soaring, leaving millions of families at risk of going to bed hungry.

Why #United4Food Campaign? In 2004, the Nigerian government committed to allocating 10% of the national budget to agriculture - but has consistently failed in providing funding that’s desperately needed by small scale farmers to improve food production Fresh & Young Brains Development Initiative(FBIN) HEDA Resource Centre

Very enlightening hearing from persons with lived experiences of NTDs. The impact of stigma is quite severe and can lead to suicide. Increased knowledge and early treatment are some ways of addressing this issue.

The Director of Food Security in the Office of the President of Sierra Leone, Dr Patrick Kormawa, paid me a courtesy visit in my office in Abuja today. We held a focused discussion on the experiences of the African Development Bank Group in financing agriculture and how such models can be adapted
