This year, the worst drought in 60 years has hit the region of the Horn of Africa, which is fueling famine and the highest malnutrition rates in the world.
The Chinese government made great efforts to alleviate the food shortage by providing emergency food and cash aid worth 533 million yuan (about 83.6 million U.S. dollars) to Africa, making it the largest overseas food aid since 1949.
Meanwhile, the Chinese government and the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) Secretariat has set up the International Center for Drought Risk Reduction, providing drought monitoring and assessment products to African countries.
