Kenya needs implement Malabo Declaration to achieve food security

Dr Samantha Opere

At the African Union Summit in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, in June 2014, African governments adopted the Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Agricultural Growth and Transformation for Shared Prosperity and Improved Livelihoods. 

This Declaration set forth a series of concrete development goals to be reached by 2025, including achieving a 6 per cent annual agricultural growth rate and a 10 per cent agricultural expenditure share.
