Andorra Joins Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty Proposed by Brazil’s G20 Presidency
Andorra, November 22, 2024 – Andorra has joined the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty, an initiative proposed by Brazil during its presidency of the G20.
The Alliance aims to mobilize global efforts to eradicate hunger and poverty by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations. It brings together governments, international organizations, civil society groups, and businesses to collaborate on innovative and effective solutions to these pressing issues.
Andorra’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maria Ubach, signed the agreement to join the Alliance on behalf of the country. She expressed Andorra’s commitment to contributing to the initiative’s goals and highlighted the importance of international cooperation in addressing global challenges.
“Hunger and poverty are not merely moral issues, but also undermine sustainable development and stability,” Minister Ubach said. “Andorra stands ready to work with our partners in the Alliance to find practical and lasting solutions to these problems.”
The Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty focuses on four key areas:
- Social protection: Expanding access to safety nets and social programs to protect vulnerable populations from falling into poverty.
- Sustainable agriculture: Promoting sustainable farming practices and improving food security, especially in developing countries.
- Empowerment of women and girls: Addressing gender inequality and empowering women and girls to participate fully in economic and social development.
- Climate resilience: Building resilience against the impacts of climate change, which disproportionately affect the poor and marginalized.
Brazil, as the current president of the G20, has placed combating hunger and poverty at the forefront of its agenda. The Global Alliance is seen as a key instrument to galvanize international action and mobilize resources to address these global challenges.
Andorra’s accession to the Alliance demonstrates its commitment to multilateralism and international cooperation. It also aligns with the country’s National Sustainable Development Strategy, which includes specific goals for reducing poverty and improving social inclusion.
The Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty is expected to hold its first meeting in the first quarter of 2025, bringing together representatives from member countries and organizations to develop a detailed roadmap for action.
