G8 to extend aid to sub-Sahara

The United States and other G8 nations are expanding a program to lift 50 million people in sub-Saharan Africa out of poverty and hunger within the next decade, US officials said Wednesday.
More than 60 companies pledging some $4 billion in private business commitments to help build seed, fertilizer or small-scale irrigation firms have joined the Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition.
The initiative was launched by President Barack Obama in May at a G8 summit and brings together G8 nations, African countries and private sector firms.
Ethiopia, Tanzania and Ghana were the first three countries to be included, but USAID administrator Rajiv Shah announced that Mozambique, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso have also now been included.
