Mr. Dame Sow
From this situation, there is a strong North-South inequality. Indeed, the North has better assets and adequate means to meet the needs of its people while the South is the part of the world that has the most difficulty in meeting its most basic needs. The problems faced by these populations are due to poor nutrition, resulting in malnutrition.
Malnutrition is broken down partly by undernutrition, which causes the death of 25,000 people per day, and partly by over-nutrition, which is not a lack but a surplus of food and / or poor quality that leads to for example, obesity. We must act permanently to deal with this scourge and for that I think it would be essential to:
1. Unlock and allocate pledges and focus investments on the most vulnerable countries.
2. Promptly implement measures to assist children and families at risk of malnutrition: cash transfers, food supplement distributions and promotion of breastfeeding.
3. Provide support to small producers and marginalized people over the long term to help them cope with shocks and improve their productivity and access to markets.
4. Invest in agricultural programs designed to combat malnutrition.
