During IFPRI’s 40th Anniversary event in 2015, Nancy Stetson, Special Representative for Global Food Security of the United States Department of State, spoke on the value of IFPRI’s research to the United States government to reduce hunger.She offered suggestions on how IFPRI and the United States government can strengthen their collaboration.
“IFPRI’s cutting-edge research has helped the United States figure out the most effective ways to attack global hunger. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership over the next 40 years.”
The United States continues to prioritize reducing hunger around the world. At the 2015 United Nations Summit, President Barack Obama of the United States, presented a 15-year development agenda that includes a blueprint to eliminate poverty and hunger. For decades, IFPRI has partnered with the United States government through USAID to find innovative solutions to poverty and hunger. IFPRI contributes to USAID’ work in gender and agriculture, nutrition security for women and children, country development strategies designed to identify the main drivers of economic growth and agricultural transformation, and biosafety for seed systems.
