GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – The United Nations system in Guyana Tuesday congratulated Guyana on being among 38 countries that have met internationally-established targets in the fight against hunger ahead of the 2015 deadline.
Guyana and St. Vincent and the Grenadines are the only two Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries among 20 countries which have satisfied the primary target of the UN Millennium Development Goal (MDG) to halve the proportion of hungry people.
Their progress was measured between 1990-92 and 2010-2012, against benchmarks established by the international community at the UN General Assembly in 2000.
