Africa Regional Nutrition Strategy 2015-2025
The current situation in terms of hunger and malnutrition in Africa is totally incompatible with the vision of the African Union (AU) and the aspirations for the peoples of Africa as held by their leaders. It is indeed, an irony of the tallest order that Africa is presently having the highest levels of malnutrition in the world as it is a continent with exceptional natural resources and experiencing rapid economic growth.
The ARNS 2015-2025 endeavors to identify means to build upon and replicate good policies, programs and practices, while adapting to context-specific conditions. Hunger and malnutrition rob every human being of dignity and respect and pose insurmountable obstacles to human and national development. Recognizing these facts, elimination of hunger and malnutrition has been high on the list of priorities for the AU right from the beginning as reflected in the numerous declarations, strategies and programs adopted by the Union.
