WFP: Private sector must aid in solving hunger

"We can no longer depend on governments to do everything. We just can't. It's not feasible,” WFP executive director Cindy McCain yesterday told The STAR.

Governments cannot address hunger problems on their own, making private partnerships necessary to solve global woes, McCain emphasized.

“Private companies, private partnerships have got to be a part of this mix. And in many ways, it is their duty as world citizens. A lot of these corporations are worldwide, so it is their duty to be part of this solution – and a part of helping to stop hunger around the world,” she added.
