SUBJECT: PARTNERSHIP TO CUT HUNGER AND POVERTY IN AFRICA - 
ROME JUNE 11 LAUNCHING 
 
-------------------- 
THE VIEW FROM AFRICA 
-------------------- 
 
¶5. THE THREE AFRICAN HEADS OF STATE COMMENTED ON THE PROBLEM 
OF HUNGER AND POVERTY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES. 
PRESIDENT KUFUOR OF GHANA REVIEWED HIS NATION'S FIVE 
PRIORITIES IN THE FIGHT TO MOVE HIS COUNTRY OUT OF POVERTY: 
1) IMPROVE THE COUNTRY'S INFRASTRUCTURE; 2) MODERNIZE 
AGRICULTURE, PARTICULARLY IN RURAL AREAS; 3) IMPROVE UPON 
THE QUALITY OF HUMAN RESOURCES THROUGH EDUCATION AND 
AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE; 4) ADHERE TO GOOD GOVERNANCE, 
RESPECT HUMAN RIGHTS AND PROMOTE DEMOCRACY; AND 5) DEVELOP 
THE PRIVATE SECTOR.  ADDITIONALLY, THE GHANAIAN LEADER 
EMPHASIZED PRIVATE INVESTMENT AND TRADE AS AN IMPORTANT 
COMPONENT TOWARDS ACHIEVING LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT. 
 
¶6. MOZAMBICAN PRESIDENT CHISSANO STRESSED THAT AGRICULTURE 
IS THE BASIS OF HIS COUNTRY'S DEVELOPMENT.  ALTHOUGH HE 
                       UNCLASSIFIED 
 
PAGE 04        ROME  03706  02 OF 05  290926Z 
ACKNOWLEDGED THAT AGRICULTURE IN MOZAMBIQUE WAS "STILL AT A 
VERY LOW LEVEL," HE STRESSED MOZAMBIQUE'S POTENTIAL AND 
WILLINGNESS TO PARTNER ON THE NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND 
CONTINENTAL LEVELS. CHISSANO STRESSED IMPROVEMENT OF RURAL 
INFRASTRUCTURES AND NETWORKS SO THAT FOOD COMMODITY COULD BE 
MOVED FROM SURPLUS TO DEFICIT AREAS.  HE REITERATED THE NEED 
TO TRAIN RURAL FARMERS AND SMALL ENTREPRENEURS IN GOOD 
BUSINESS PRACTICES. 
 
¶7. UGANDAN PRESIDENT MUSEVENI SPOKE OF ADDING VALUE TO 
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS AND PRODUCING FOR THE MARKET, NOT 
SIMPLY FOCUSING ON AGRICULTURE TO FEED THEIR POPULATIONS. 
ACCORDING TO MUSEVENI, "AFRICAN COUNTRIES ARE LOSING FOREIGN 
CURRENCY, EMPLOYMENT AND THEIR TAX BASE BECAUSE THEY CANNOT 
CAPTURE THE VALUE ADDED FROM THE COMMODITIES THEY PRODUCE."

ROME JUNE 11 LAUNCHING 
 
-------------------- 
 
¶8. USAID ADMINISTRATOR NATSIOS SHARED PRESIDENT MUSEVENI'S 
SENTIMENT REGARDING ECONOMIC GROWTH, NOTING THAT FOR MOST 
COUNTRIES IN AFRICA AND CENTRAL ASIA THE WAY TO ACHIEVE SUCH 
GROWTH IS THROUGH AGRICULTURE.  NATSIOS HIGHLIGHTED THE 
IMPORTANCE OF INCREASING RURAL INCOMES, SPECIFICALLY FAMILY 
INCOMES, AS A WAY TO DEAL WITH POVERTY.  FOR USAID'S PART, 
NATSIOS ANNOUNCED A USD 30 MILLION INCREASE THIS FISCAL YEAR 
FOR AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROPOSED TO SEEK 
CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION TO FURTHER INCREASE USAID'S 
AGRICULTURAL FUNDING BY USD 70 MILLION IN FY 2003. HE STATED 
THAT USAID WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASING ITS STAFF OF 
AGRICULTURAL SPECIALISTS. 
 
¶9. UNDERSECRETARY LARSON AFFIRMED THE ADMINISTRATION'S 
DESIRE TO HARNESS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, PARTICULARLY 
BIOTECHNOLOGY, TO INCREASE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN 
AFRICA. LARSON EXPRESSED THE HOPE THAT OTHER NATIONS AND 
MULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS WOULD REAFFIRM AGRICULTURE AS 
                       UNCLASSIFIED 
 
PAGE 04        ROME  03706  03 OF 05  290927Z 
KEY IN THE FIGHT TO ALLEVIATE POVERTY. 
 
¶10. REPRESENTING THE PARTNERSHIP, MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY 
PRESIDENT PETER MCPHERSON SAID THAT WHILE ATTENTION TO 
AFRICA BY THE DONOR COMMUNITY HAD FALLEN DRASTICALLY IN 
RECENT YEARS, THE CONTINENT'S HUNGER AND POVERTY PROBLEMS 
HAD GOTTEN WORSE. HE URGED JOURNALISTS TO HELP BRING GREATER 
ATTENTION TO AFRICA'S NEEDS. 
 
¶11. ON THE PARTNERSHIP, MCPHERSON COMMENTED THAT IT WOULD 
FOCUS ON FIVE VITAL AREAS: (A) STRENGTHENING PRIVATE 
ENTERPRISE BY BUILDING ON THE U.S. AFRICA GROWTH AND 
OPPORTUNITY ACT TO OPEN GLOBAL MARKETS TO AFRICAN RAW AND 
PROCESSED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS; (B) IMPROVING AGRICULTURAL 
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSFER, INCLUDING 
BIOTECHNOLOGY; (C) LINKING FOOD AND EMERGENCY AID TO A 
LONGER-TERM DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY, SUCH AS THE FOOD FOR 
EDUCATION INITIATIVE PROMOTED BY FORMER SENATORS GEORGE

BIOTECH RESEARCH HAD BEEN CONDUCTED ON CROPS GROWN IN
