How Do the Academia and Donor Community Address Food Insecurity in Sub-Saharan Africa?

Abstract

Sub-Saharan Africa has remained the world’s most food insecure region for decades. Therefore, the paper first identified the key drivers of the current food insecurity in the region, followed by an analysis of how academia and donor community address the problem. At last, whether donor community’s policies and approaches match what proposed by the academia were discussed. The paper found in general the two sectors’ solutions correspond to each other, with both of them paid attention to the environmental sustainability in their work.
