Under President Kufuor's leadership, Ghana became the first sub-Saharan African country to cut in half the proportion of its people who suffer from hunger and the proportion of its people living on less than one dollar per day.
At this event, MCC Chief Executive Officer Daniel Yohannes will discuss with President Kufuor the challenges and opportunities involved in improving food security and generating economic growth in West Africa.
The discussion will be moderated by Alan Beattie, International Economy Editor at the Financial Times and author of New York Times bestseller "False Economy: A Surprising Economic History of the World."
