The United States has announced a $150 million package for Africa to help address food and humanitarian crises.
Speaking before a gathering of over 500 participants at the University of Ghana in Accra, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said the world was facing unprecedented food crises, requiring what she termed an “unprecedented global response.”
“For our part, the United States is committed to this work. But more funding is needed to address food security and to address crises that compound food security, like refugees and internally displaced people,” she said.
“I am proud to announce nearly $150 million in new, additional humanitarian funding and development assistance, pending Congressional approval, for Africa.”
She said the new package, if approved by Congress, would increase U.S. humanitarian assistance to Africa to $6.6 billion since the beginning of this year.
The ambassador said worldwide food prices are 23 per cent higher than a year ago, partly a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – the two countries combined provide over 40 per cent of Africa’s wheat supply.
