- Subcommittee follows up on implementing strategic framework for UN Zero Hunger goal
CAIRO: The Arab League held the region鈥檚 eighth meeting of the Subcommittee for Hunger Eradication, Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture on Monday, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Chaired by Sudan, it focused on implementing 鈥淯N Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger,鈥� which aims to eliminate food insecurity and malnutrition in the region.
Nada El Agizy, director of sustainable development and international cooperation at the Arab League, said that food security is a top priority for joint Arab action.
She emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts and called for the strengthening of existing partnerships, as well as the formation of new ones, to address the challenges.
The 鈥淪trategic Framework for Zero Hunger in the Arab Region鈥� was launched in February during the fourth Arab Week for Sustainable Development in Cairo.
A UN study in June 2021 warned that hunger in the Arab region was on the rise and threatened the area鈥檚 efforts to achieve freedom from it by 2030.
