Deputy Director of the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) Center for Excellence against Hunger, Peter Rodrigues, attended the Global Call on “Transformative Food Assistance for a World Without Hunger,” hosted by the National Commission on Risk Management. Disasters of Ethiopia (NDRMC) and WFP Representation in Ethiopia.
The event took place in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, from November 4-6. The meeting aimed to build consensus on policy reforms, institutional innovations and investments in transformative food assistance, including the establishment of an Ethiopian-based Global Center for Excellence for Transformative Food Assistance.
The Global Call had two motivations: the growing recognition of the need to transform food systems to overcome hunger and malnutrition, and the need to deepen the appreciation of the unmet potential to improve food system performance.
