The challenge of hunger: Taming price spikes and excessive food price volatility

Summary

This year’s Global Hunger Index (GHI) shows that global hunger has declined since 1990, but not dramatically, and remains at a level characterized as “serious.”
2011 GHI

Across regions and countries, GHI scores vary greatly. The highest GHI scores occur in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. South Asia reduced its GHI score substantially between 1990 and 1996, but this fast progress could not be maintained. Though Sub-Saharan Africa made less progress than South Asia after 1990, it has caught up since the turn of the millennium.

CSR-Nonprofit Summit supports rural development and women¹s empowerment in India On the 20th and 21st of January, 2012, the internationally sponsored CSR-Nonprofit Summit will bring together corporations and nonprofit organizations in support of rural development and women¹s empowerment in India. Hosted by Elon University¹s Periclean Scholars, Comprehensive Rural Health Project, Jamkhed (CRHP), and SOSVA Training and Promotion Institute (STAPI), this invitation-only conference seeks to connect corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives to promising nonprofit organizations working in India, principally in the state of Maharashtra. The Summit takes place at the Maratha Chamber of Commerce, Industries & Agriculture in Pune.

The introduction of the new Companies Bill 2011 has brought greater
attention to CSR initiatives. If passed, this new law would require large

understanding, networking, and collaboration, between corporations and
nonprofit organizations.

During the two-day conference, participants will engage in plenary sessions,
workshops, and networking meetings. Ms. Vandana Krishna, I.A.S. Principal
Secretary Women and Child Development Department, will deliver the keynote
address. Other highlights of the conference include a discussion on CSR
investment strategies by Indian corporations, a presentation of successful
models for rural women¹s development, and conversations on bridging the gap between CSR departments and nonprofit organizations. As of today, close to 30 corporations and 60 nonprofits have confirmed their participation in the
Summit.

Through creative programming participants will gain a better appreciation
for the evolving CSR climate. Sessions emphasizing networking opportunities
will link companies to reputable nonprofit organizations. The development of
sustainable partnerships between Summit participants will serve to generate
long-term support for women¹s empowerment and rural development in India.
