Ghana Ranked Among 10 African Countries Making Strides in Reducing Hunger

Efforts to combat hunger across Africa have shown significant progress in some countries, according to the latest Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2) index scores. These scores highlight advancements in food security, nutrition, and sustainable agricultural practices.

Food security, a stabilising factor in society, is linked to reduced social tensions and broader socio-economic benefits. Countries with lower hunger levels tend to experience less instability, a stronger workforce, and improved economic output.

Better nutrition contributes to healthier and more productive populations. Improved health allows individuals to work longer and more efficiently, boosting local economies and increasing overall economic output. This also frees up resources that governments would otherwise spend managing hunger emergencies or treating malnutrition-related diseases.

Reducing hunger also impacts education. Access to nutritious meals enables children to focus on learning, increasing literacy rates and fostering long-term societal development.

These efforts align with the United Nations’ SDG 2, which aims to eradicate hunger, improve food security, enhance nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. Progress towards this goal has led to increased agricultural investment in several African countries, revitalising rural communities and empowering farmers with better resources, technology, and training.

While no African country has fully achieved the SDG 2 targets, some are approaching these milestones, as highlighted in the recent Financing Africa report by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation.
