The Roadmap to End Global Hunger

Last week, I did an interview with the Global Hunger Examiner — a news outlet dedicated to world hunger issues — about Mercy Corps' efforts to fight hunger. We're one of several non-governmental organizations supporting the Roadmap to End Global Hunger, currently under under legislation in Congress. Our efforts come at a critical time, when more than one billion people around the world suffer from hunger and continue to fall behind because of the economic crisis.

Here's a link to the interview, which outlines our strategy for working more closely with the White House to create more effective, efficient, visionary programs to end hunger: Heather Hanson of Mercy Corps talks about the Roadmap to End Global Hunger
