The Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, led by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was presented at the G20 summit with the participation of 39 countries and 30 international organizations. This initiative aims to benefit about 500 million people through 40 projects against hunger in countries in Africa, America, and Asia.
According to statements from Brazilian Minister of Social Development and Fight Against Hunger, Wellington Dias, this collective effort represents the largest attempt made to date to end hunger and poverty through large-scale policies and programs. The Alliance aims to achieve concrete goals by the year 2030 and is expected to expand as new countries join it.
Among the commitments made are subsidy programs in thirteen countries across three continents, as well as school feeding projects that will benefit 150 million children in ten nations. These programs will receive financial support from entities such as the World Bank, and countries like Portugal and the United Kingdom, as well as from private philanthropic organizations like the Rockefeller Foundation.
Additionally, the Alliance includes commitments for health and nutrition programs aimed at mothers and children in eight countries, as well as socioeconomic inclusion initiatives to support 100 million women entrepreneurs in various countries. With the collaboration of international organizations and countries such as Spain, France, Germany, and Norway, projects will be carried out to support small farmers and access to water in different regions around the world.
