The East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA) Committee on Agriculture, Tourism, and Natural Resources has called for collaborative efforts among East Africa Community (EAC) partner states to end hunger and boost food security.
Committee Chairperson Hon. Francoise Uwumukiza said the region was racing against time to end hunger by the year 2025 calling on partner states and agencies to scale up efforts to achieve the target.
“This is a tough goal to achieve in less than two years. That is why we are adding more fuel to our zeal to make sure we achieve something within that short period,” she said.
Climate change, she said, was the biggest impediment to the realization of the goal calling for concerted regional efforts to mitigate the adverse effects of the phenomenon.
