The Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty, which will be launched at the opening of the G20 summit, this Monday (18), has already had 82 countries join. The proposal was created by Brazil with the aim of accelerating global efforts to eradicate hunger and poverty, central priorities in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Among the countries that have already joined are all members of the G20. Only Argentina had not yet announced its membership until this Monday morning, but the country decided to join at the last minute and became the founder of the group.
In addition to the countries, the European and African Unions, which are members of the bloc, announced their membership, 24 international organizations, nine financial institutions and 31 philanthropic and non-governmental organizations.
Membership, which began in July and remains open, is formalized through a declaration, which defines general and specific commitments, which are aligned with the specific priorities and conditions of each signatory.
Among the actions are the “Sprints 2030”, which are an attempt to eradicate hunger and extreme poverty through large-scale policies and programs.
The Global Alliance hopes to reach 500 million people with cash transfer programs in low- and lower-middle-income countries by 2030, expand quality school meals to an additional 150 million children in countries with endemic child poverty and hunger, and raise billions in credit and grants through multilateral development banks to implement these and other programs.
The Alliance will have its own governance linked to the G20, but will not be restricted to the nations that make up the group.
Administration will be carried out by a Council of Champions and the Support Mechanism. The governance system is expected to be operational by mid-2025. Until then, Brazil will provide temporary support for essential functions.
