About 125 million people are considered as being acutely hungry, meaning they lack access to enough food to live healthy lives. One of the UN's Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) key aims is achieving zero hunger by 2030. The assembly brought together national policy makers responsible for food and nutrition security, prominent food assistance practitioners, donors, philanthropic bodies and food security academics. The Addis Ababa assembly will continue for a second day on Tuesday focusing on increasing awareness of the scope and depth of food assistance, on developing consensuses on priorities for policy reform, institutional innovation and investment toward transformative food assistance in different contexts.
