简报：美国对撒哈拉以南非洲地区的粮食安全援助
布林肯国务卿本周开始南非、刚果民主共和国和卢旺达之行。美国一直在这些国家投放资源，与非洲政府、机构、企业、科学家和其他领导人合作，防止饥荒并应对全球粮食安全危机，同时解决不断上升的营养不良率。营养不良对非洲大陆的危害最为严重。
在六月份举行的七国集团峰会上，拜登总统和七国集团领导人宣布提供超过45亿美元来解决全球粮食安全问题，其中半数以上将来自美国。美国政府出资的27.6亿美元将用于帮助保护世界上最脆弱的人口，并通过在世界各地建立生产能力和更有韧性的农业和粮食系统，应对紧急粮食需求，来减轻日益严重的粮食不安全和营养不良的影响，包括俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争所造成的影响。我们已经认识到需要立即采取行动，防止产生影响深重的后果，我们也正在作出回应，专门为非洲自身的粮食安全和粮食系统转型计划提供支持。
在这笔27.6亿美元款项中，7.6亿美元将用于可持续的近期粮食援助，以帮助在受到高昂的粮食、肥料和燃料价格影响的脆弱的国家中缓解贫困、饥饿和营养不良的进一步加剧。我们正与美国国会磋商，将该款项中的3.365亿美元拨给撒哈拉以南非洲国家的双边计划，其中包括布基纳法索、刚果民主共和国、埃塞俄比亚、加纳、几内亚、肯尼亚、利比里亚、马达加斯加、马拉维、马里、莫桑比克、尼日尔、尼日利亚、卢旺达、塞内加尔、塞拉利昂、索马里、南苏丹、坦桑尼亚、乌干达、赞比亚和津巴布韦，以及南部非洲、西部非洲和萨赫勒地区（Sahel）的区域计划。
除了拜登总统的七国集团承诺外，美国已宣布提取比尔·爱默生人道主义信托基金（Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust）的余额。这是一项与美国农业部协调、提供额外的6.7亿美元粮食援助的工作，以便应对世界各地历史严重水平的粮食不安全状况。 2022年7月和8月宣布的资金将用于采购美国粮食商品，以支持在面临严重粮食不安全的国家正在实施的紧急粮食行动。物资将被运送到埃塞俄比亚、肯尼亚、索马里、南苏丹和苏丹。
拜登总统还宣布，美国正在通过美国政府独特的全球粮食安全计划将可持续的非洲粮食生产扩展到另外八个非洲国家，其中包括刚果民主共和国、利比里亚、马达加斯加、马拉维、莫桑比克、卢旺达、坦桑尼亚和赞比亚。这次扩展将全球的重点国家的数目增加到20个，并履行了拜登总统于2021年9月做出的承诺，即同国会合作通过“未来粮食供给”计划提供50亿美元来消除全球饥饿和营养不良，并在海外建设可持续的、有复原力的、包容的粮食系统。
最后，美国政府还将为支持生计和营养的国际努力做出贡献，并帮助脆弱的国家建设它们对包括粮食价格浮动、供应链问题、气候影响及其他长期威胁在内的冲击的抗御力。根据国会通知，美国计划为以下努力提供1.2亿美元:

FACT SHEET
OFFICE OF THE SPOKESPERSON
AUGUST 8, 2022
Secretary Blinken travels to South Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Rwanda this week, where the United States has been deploying resources and working in partnership with African governments, institutions, businesses, scientists, and other leaders to prevent hunger and combat the global food security crisis while also addressing the increasing rates of malnutrition, which has hit the continent of Africa the hardest.
At the G7 Summit in June, President Biden and G7 leaders announced over $4.5 billion to address global food security, over half of which will come from the United States.  This $2.76 billion in U.S. government funding will help protect the world’s most vulnerable populations and mitigate the impacts of growing food insecurity and malnutrition, including from Russia’s war in Ukraine, by building production capacity and more resilient agriculture and food systems around the world, and responding to immediate emergency food needs.  We have recognized the need for immediate action to prevent far-reaching consequences, and we are responding with support targeting Africa’s own plans for food security and food systems transformation.
Of this $2.76 billion, $760 million will be for sustainable near-term food assistance to help mitigate further increases in poverty, hunger, and malnutrition in vulnerable countries impacted by high prices of food, fertilizer, and fuel.  Of this amount, we are working with Congress to allocate $336.5 million to bilateral programs for Sub-Saharan African countries, including Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe and regional programs in southern Africa, west Africa, and the Sahel.
In addition to the President’s G7 commitment, the U.S. has announced the drawdown of the balance in the Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust, an effort in coordination with the U.S. Department of Agriculture which will provide an additional $670 million in food assistance to respond to historic levels of acute food insecurity around the world.  Funds announced in July and August 2022 will be used to procure U.S. food commodities to bolster existing emergency food operations in countries facing severe food insecurity. Resources will be delivered to:: Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan.
President Biden also announced that the United States is expanding sustainable African food production through the U.S. government’s signature global food security initiative, to eight additional African countries, including Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zambia. This expansion brings the number of priority countries globally to 20 and delivers on President Biden’s commitment in September 2021 to work with Congress to provide $5 billion through Feed the Future to end global hunger, malnutrition and build sustainable, resilient, inclusive food systems abroad.
Finally, the U.S. government will also contribute to international efforts to support livelihoods and nutrition and help vulnerable countries build their resilience to shocks including food price volatility, supply chain issues, climate impacts, and other long-term threats. Subject to Congressional notification, the U.S. is planning to provide $120 million to the following efforts:
