It may be close to impossible to end poverty, but with the help of society and the goverment, the poverty level of poor people can be reduced, for example, a poor person can eat regularly and healthily, or even if it is not the latest model, he can have his own house or his own car, etc.

Evsizlik, düzenli bir barınma mekanına sahip olmama ya da olamama, yaşamını sokaklarda sürdüren durumudur. Sokaklar, terk edilmiş mekanlar, şehir içinde az kullanılan, ücra köşeler, alanlar genellikle evsizlerin barınma alanlarıdır. Toplumsal ve ekonomik bir sorun teşkil eden evsizlik, bireyin ödeme gücünün yetersizliği, zihinsel ya da ruhsal sorunları ( şizofreni vs.), toplumsal dışlanma, savaşlar, devletlerin parçalanması ve ülkenin ya da bireyin yaşadığı maddî sıkıntılar gibi çok farklı nedenlerden kaynaklanabilir. Evsizlik olgusunu yaşayan bireye evsiz denilmektedir.

Günümüzde dünya çapında yüz milyondan fazla evsiz yaşamaktadır. Özellikle 1980 sonrası küresel ölçekte yaşanan krizler ve 2000'li yıllarda meydana gelen ekonomik krizler ile ortaya çıkan işsizlik, büyük oranda evsiz nüfusun artışına kaynaklık etmiştir. Plansız ve çarpık kentleşme, özellikle yoksul kesim üzerinde büyük bir evsizlik riski yaratmaktadır.

Göç ve kentleşmenin birlikte artışı ile farklı ekonomik koşullardan, farklı sosyo-kültürel yapılardan gelen insanların bir arada bulunması, uyum sorununu da beraberinde getirmektedir. Evsizlik, kişinin psikolojik sorunlar yaşaması, ruh sağlığının bozulması, aile içi şiddet gibi nedenlerle doğrudan ilintilidir.

Doğal afetler gibi savaşların ve çatışmaların sürekliliği de evsizlik olgusunu tetikleyen etmenlerdendir. Sivillerin barınma ihtiyacını ortadan kaldıran yerleşim yerlerine müdahaleler, pek çok insanın evsiz kalmasına neden olmaktadır.

Herhangi bir sosyal topluluğa mensup olamama ve bu bağın kaybedilmiş olması, içinde bulunulan evsizlik olgusundan kurtuluş için gerekli dayanışmaya ulaşılamamasını da beraberinde getirmektedir. Kamu hizmetlerinden yoksunluk, yasalarla tanımlanmış sosyal ve ekonomik haklara erişimemeyi de bünyesinde taşımaktadır. Çünkü evsiz kimseye mekansal açıdan erişimin zorluğu, sağlıklı bir kayıt ve veri tabanı için imkân sağlamamaktadır. Evsilerin, toplum tarafından tehlikeli, muhtemel bir tehdit olarak algılanması da, bu olumsuz dışlanmayı pekiştirmekte ve evsiz kişi için kalıcı hâle getirmektedir.

One of the causes of poverty is unemployment.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For a quarter-century, nations around the world had made significant gains in reducing poverty, a silver lining for many despite widening income inequality. But the COVID-19 pandemic reversed many of those important gains and now inflation and other factors are causing elected officials and others to redouble efforts to combat poverty and pernicious unemployment.

According to the United Nations (UN), "full and productive employment" is one of the main ways that people experiencing poverty can improve their well-being.

However, inflation, supply chain disruptions, warfare, the coronavirus pandemic, and other compounding social risk factors continue exacerbating both poverty and unemployment.

Despite a reduction in poverty over the past 25 years, the COVID-19 pandemic reversed that steady progress, leading to the first rise in extreme poverty in more than two decades, reads the UN's Sustainable Development Goals Report 2021 .

Simultaneously, pandemic-induced unemployment has also climbed to new heights with the loss of the equivalent of 255 million full-time jobs-about four times the amount lost in the 2007-2009 financial crisis, the report continues.

In order to alleviate global poverty and fuel sustainable social and economic growth, it is vital world leaders align supportive economic strategies with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and urgently create quality, productive employment opportunities for all.

The State of Poverty & Unemployment

Reversal of Poverty Progress Amid Global Upheaval

According to the , poverty "entails more than the lack of income and productive resources to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and other basic services, social discrimination and exclusion as well as the lack of participation in decision-making."

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, around 8.6% of the world lived in poverty in 2018, a UN poverty states.

In 2020 alone, an additional 119 to 124 million people were pushed into extreme poverty-living on less than $1.90 a day and struggling to access healthcare, water, sanitation, food security, and other necessities, the UN states.

That number continues to grow.

The war in Ukraine, inflation, food insecurity , the ongoing Yemen conflict-which has evolved into one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world-and other social risks, threatens to push even more people into poverty.

It is estimated that these crises will force an additional 75 million to 95 million into extreme poverty in 2022, and by 2030, the global poverty rate is projected to be 7%- missing the target of eradicating poverty.

"Women, youth, and low-wage and informal workers, especially those living in urban areas, were among the hardest hit," the World Bank reported. "Inequality rose both within countries and between countries, with long-term impacts on access to opportunity and to social mobility."

Unemployment Rates Remain High

Meanwhile, this upheaval has also wreaked havoc on global employment.

Just as the world was beginning to rebound from what the UN called "the worst economic crisis in decades in 2020," new waves of COVID-19 infections, rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, and ongoing warfare further plummeted economic gains and stalled recovery.

In 2021, the global unemployment rate declined slightly to 6.2%, yet the International Labor Organization (ILO) it will remain above 2019 levels (5.4%) until at least 2023. Many have still not returned to the labor force while others have lost a significant portion of working hours (4.3% in 2021)-equivalent to a deficit of 125 million full-time jobs, the UN analysis continues.

Additionally, although youth had only represented 13% of the pre-pandemic employment population, they encompassed 34.2% of the decline in employment during 2020, according to the UN. The amount of global youth not in education, employment or training (NEET) has climbed to the highest levels in nearly 20 years.

The Relationship Between Poverty & Unemployment

As warfare, disease, and inflation continue exacerbating poverty and unemployment, it is increasingly vital to understand how they relate to one another and promote sustainable solutions.

Unemployment "lies at the core of poverty," reads a UN .

In fact, unemployment rate, median wages, and wage inequality are all significant determinants of poverty, according to from American nonprofit organization the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). A 1% increase in unemployment yields a 0.4 to 0.7% increase in poverty rates, and a 10% increase in minimum wage yields a 2% decrease in poverty rates, it states.

Productive, steady employment is often one of the only assets that people experiencing poverty can leverage to improve well-being-making such opportunities essential in poverty reduction and sustainable social and economic development, the UN account continues.

Given its vital role in reducing poverty, job creation should be a central focus in policies and strategies, it states.

However, it is not enough to simply create more jobs; quality work is a crucial part of rebuilding a sustainable working economy.

Empowering 'Full & Productive Employment'

Although unemployment is a poverty predictor, having a job does not necessarily ensure adequate quality of life.

Countries such as Burundi (79%), Madagascar (76%), and the Democratic Republic of the ​​Congo (69%), among others, maintain significantly high working poverty rates-the proportion of employed people living in households below the poverty line, reads an ILO .

data further reports that the "majority of the 3.3 billion people employed globally in 2018 had inadequate economic security, material well-being and equality of opportunity."

It is vital that policymakers not only prioritize job creation, but promote decent work, characterized by full and productive employment for all, equal pay, protection of labor rights and safety, and elimination of forced labor.

The UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) champion such targets in its to "promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all" by 2030.

The UN also seeks to achieve higher levels of economic productivity, promote development-oriented policies, and sustain per capita economic growth with national circumstances, among other indicators.

With multiple crises converging at once, it is more crucial than ever for global leaders to create productive employment opportunities that fuel sustainable development.

In shaping such opportunities and relevant policies, it is common to rely on surveys and other traditional methods to garner feedback. However, such means-although effective-lack urgency, possess inherent biases, and lack complete populational representation.

On the other hand, emerging technologies and social understanding software enable world leaders to leverage relevant, timely, and representative feedback regarding working conditions, shortages, food insecurity, and other topics that play a crucial role in assessing and improving employment.

During a time when public distrust has plummeted , cutting-edge AI advancements empower citizens to be a part of transformational decisions and policies.

For instance, offerings such as collect unstructured data from social media, forums, discussions, and other social platforms, generating actionable insights regarding important issues-from supply chain shortages and working conditions to food and water insecurities.

Intelligently organizing millions of data into customizable indexes on a real-time dashboard, these insights fundamentally revolutionize policymaking-facilitating more equitable, inclusive, and contextualized changes to employment and, by extension, poverty.

Citibeats leverages ethical AI for social understanding.

There are five major categories of risk factors that increase a person's likelihood of experiencing working poverty: sectoral factors, demographic factors, economic factors, labor market institutions, and welfare generosity. Working poverty is a phenomenon that affects a very wide range of people, but there are some employment sectors, demographic groups, political factors, and economic factors that are correlated with higher rates of working poverty than others.

In recent years, the world has made remarkable strides advancing development. Yet hundreds of millions of people still live in extreme poverty. Children are disproportionately affected. Despite comprising one third of the global population, they represent half of those struggling to survive on less than $2.15 a day. An estimated 333 million children live in extreme poverty.

Children who grow up impoverished often lack the food, sanitation, shelter, health care and education they need to survive and thrive. Across the world, about 1 billion children are "multidimensionally" poor, meaning they lack necessities as basic as nutritious food or clean water.

The consequences are grave. Worldwide, the poorest children are twice as likely to die in childhood than their wealthier peers. For those growing up through humanitarian emergencies, the risks of deprivation and exclusion surge. Compounding crises - from the impacts of climate-related disasters, conflicts and COVID-19 - have stalled progress for the most vulnerable children. Even in the world's richest countries, one in seven children still live in poverty.

No matter where they are, children who grow up impoverished suffer from poor living standards, develop fewer skills for the workforce, and earn lower wages as adults. But only a limited number of Governments have set the elimination of child poverty as a national priority.

Breakfast at Brittany's

It's been more than three years since my divorce. Three years of feeling empty inside, three years of being lost. Three years of still finding pieces of my life to fit back together. More than anything I just longed for somewhere to belong, someone to love me. Someone to make me feel whole. I divorced my husband because I was more than sure that I no longer enjoyed the company of a man. I needed something more concrete, I wanted someone who also wanted companionship, and nurturing, and who could reciprocate that more than a woman? Who could understand that words like 'yes' and 'ok' were not conversational pieces more than a woman?" He became uninterested, or he was just uninteresting. And here I was denying myself of my own sexuality. So I did it my lawyers drew up the paper work, and two months later I was a divorced, gay, woman. Yet still, 3 years later I lay in my bed depressed like always waiting for life to start. I don't know what I was looking for in particular but I knew, that it would grasp my attention when it was time. I decided to get up and make myself breakfast. Breakfast is something that I haven't physically done in a while, food in general is something that had barely graced my lips since my husband left home. There was no need for something so savory and sweet now that I'm alone, because nothing in my life is savory and sweet. I blamed myself for ruining something so perfect. We would always be what we needed to be, when we needed to be it. He just became so predictable, too dependable, too absent. Life was routine for him! He knew what to say even if it was robotic, he fit the mold. I no longer wanted to fit the mold. I needed growth! I needed chasing after, I wanted to know that I mattered! Not my status, my money, my mind, but my soul. I got out of my California king sized bed, and walked the cold teakwood floors that lined my penthouse apartment. The glass walls seemed so transparent into my body and mind, as if they told the sad story of a middle aged woman. The kitchen was big enough to host a grand dinner, but I had no one to fill it. "What shall I cook, what will I eat?" I have been filling my body with wine and ice cream, my body probably didn't understand nourishment. I decided on an omelette. I looked in the fridge and all I could find was forty bottles of water that had probably a been there for months and a block of fresh farmed cheese. I battled with if I should go lie back in bed, or if I should drag my ass to the grocery store. I haven't seen the inside of a grocery store in at-least two years. Normally my assistant Mandy does my shopping for me. But since it was Saturday and she had the day off I had to take care of myself. Riiinngg* I could hear my work phone ring miles away. I hated that my job was so demanding. I just wanted To draw into myself, without interruption. I threw on a cashmere Chanel sweater, grabbed a pair of lululemon tights and headed into the Manhattan air. The closest grocery store was Whole Foods. As my driver entered into the parking lot and parked the big black Escalade in front of the opened doors of the store my chest began to tighten. I dreaded walking in and having to put on a fake smile like my insides were not falling apart just as much as my life were. My driver Rodney handed me a pair of Chanel sunglasses, and gave me a shy smile through the rearview mirror. As if he was telling me everything was going to be ok. "Thank you," he nodded and I opened the door and walked into the store. It was busy as always. Filled with PTA moms dressed for yoga, with nothing to do with their day, but judge any socialites that had a real life. I walked to the back of the dairy section and grabbed a carton of egg, and milk. Scanning the room for what's next on my list I realized I needed turkey from the deli. The line was so long I went to survey the wines to grab two or three for later. On the top shelf there was one more bottle of Duckhorn Three Palms Vineyard Merlot! I had to have it! Normally you have to travel to Napa Valley to get this type of find. Reaching for the bottle I seen another small dainty hand with the wine colored fingernails headed for my treasure find. Before looking back I said "sorry excuse me, you should probably go find another choice, this is rather expensive." She had a cute little chuckle that mocked me. "I am well aware of the price, but thank you for your concern." I turned around and there she was. Sometimes you just know, you see someone and know everything they stand for, how great they are, how happy they could make you. She was tall and platinum blonde. She had to be just a baby, 25 maybe? She had green, that looked like God himself took a paint brush and hand painted specks of blue that could be confused for purple. Looking past her face I noticed her tight athletic body that must have hugged her soul. She smiled at me, "what's your name?" She sung, "Taylor Avon, top designer of Taylor Von wedding gowns!" I introduced myself with the same manner as always, She laughed right in my face. "Is that your introduction? Do you feel as if you say how much money you make people will care?" She shifted her oversized Gucci from one should to the other. The bag was atleast worth 10,000 grand used. I stared at the bag because I didn't know what to say. She was right, maybe I did feel that way. I was defeated, and humiliated. As soon as I try to interact it was a complete failed attempt. I handed her the wine, she wrapped her beautifully manicured fingers around the bottle as she tapped her flip flop on the tile floor. She looked at the bottle then, looked down at it as if she was in mid thought. "I'll tell you what," she looked up at me and sucked her teeth. "you're really hot, I think you're funny, how about I pay for it, and we drink it together?" The corners of my mouth curled into a smile. But I could also feel a fire in my vagina that needed to be put out. "What's your name? I asked? "Brittany Seal, CEO of Sealed by Seal." She was making fun of me. She stuck her hand out as if this was a business meeting. I laughed out loud, and free, gladly shaking her hand. "I'm headed out for breakfast at my favorite breakfast restaurant, you can join me, and we can pop this baby open to celebrate!" Whatever it is she wanted to get from me, she got it. She was smart, corky, allusive, funny, the list goes on. "What are we celebrating?" I asked her, she looked at the bottle of wine and spoke with her head down "meeting a new friend, and this great find of a bottle" She finished. Was she inviting me on a breakfast date? "Ok, I'll follow you." "No we can ride together" She flashed a pair of keys to an Audi. She walked with me to put my groceries back up in its proper place we paid for the wine, As we walked outside the day seemed much brighter than before. The sun felt like it was filling me with its rays of energy, as if I was being recharged, instead of shining unwanted light into my darkness. As Rodeny pulled to the front of the store, I gave him instructions to follow behind. He smiled really big and nodded. She and I walked to her car and it was a periwinkle blue Audi coupe, looked just like something I'd thought she drive. She watched me stare at her very noticeable car choice. I looked up and she was studying me. "Whats the difference between my car and your very flashy car? They are both conversation pieces that screams rich. Mine just screams care free, and yours screams too many problems." She keeps insulting me with the truth. "I had a car just like this when I was your age, but mine was red." She smiled and turned red when she realized she read my face all wrong, now it was her turn to put her foot in her mouth. "When is the last time you drove?" She asked. I pondered on that, before I could answer, she walked over to me and told me to drive her car. Placing the keys in my hand, it was the second time we touched, and at that moment I wish her fingers were else where. Shaking off the thought I occupied my mind by getting over in the driver seat and immediately felt alive. I could feel her blushing at me from the next seat. She typed in the directions to her favorite breakfast spot 'Over Easy Momosas' and we were off! She sat silent the entire ride. Probably soaking it all in, because I knew I was. The ride was silent but not awkward . We were at peace, no need for fillers, just feeling each other's energy. We pulled into valet and they she was greeted as if she owned the establishment. Immediately. The place was buzzing with people, I did not know if we were going to be able to find a table. A man with his hair gelled into a high pony walked out, dressed in a black suit and greeted Brittany a if she was the the person funding the establishment. "Ms. Brittany! It's always lovely to see you here, I see you have a guest, May I offer a private sector for breakfast, or would you prefer something else?" She hugged the man, and told him she needed the sector. "Can you also get this chilled for me?" She asked so sweetly, the man grinned after seeing the bottle," "This must be some special friend!" He left in a hurry with our bottle, and a woman lead us upstairs to a room. As we walked in the places buzzed with morning banter, and the walls were white bricked. Each table had beautiful vases filled with chilled water, and white roses in an overdrawn hung bouquet that hung from the mini chandeliers. There was so much light filling the place it didn't need much decor. We were lead upstairs down a hall, the walls were bricked as well but with a cherry cement, our waitress opened a huge heavy door and my eyes lit up. It had a grand table that went from wall to wall, and a veranda with a smaller table. In the corner there was a fully stocked bathroom with a shower, and a 75 inch tv, that took control of the entire wall facing the veranda. Speakers filled the corners of the room. There were paintings of beautiful sad art on the bricks, that told stories of chaos, and triumph, and love. It told the story of life beautifully. "Brittany looked at me, have you ever seen something so grand?" I shook my head no. She grabbed something out of the bowl that sat on the big wooden table and turned on a little music. Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat drifted into the room, making its presence into the energy. "What were you buying those eggs for in the store?" She asked, I found my voice "I was going home to make an omelet." I stammered. The waitress who was waiting patiently in the door way spoke up "and for you Ms. Brittany? The usual?" Brittany nodded and the young lady was off. I went to the restroom to gather myself. Just this morning I didn't want to get out of bed, and now I'm in a beautiful breakfast nook with a beautiful woman! I could smell the Roses oil fussing through the unlit candles that dressed the decor in the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, suddenly dissatisfied with my choice of clothes, and laziness with my unkept hair, and took off the shades that was once supposed to make me feel invisible. "You're ready for this." I whispered to myself, I tried so hard to believe it. Examining myself in the mirror, I had beautiful brown skin even under stress held it's natural glass and blemish free structure. I took a deep breath and opened the door. The room has been filled with bold sunflowers, and roses, The bottle of wine had been put on ice, with a glass pitcher of sparkling fresh squeezed Orange juice. One of the flutes were missing and I knew Brittany was the culprit. I poured a glass of Merlot, and joined her out on the balcony. The wind blew and it was the first time I took in her scent. It was citrusy, with a little cinnamon and vanilla. She smelled so good and natural. "Isn't it beautiful?" She broke the silence. I used to come here and just think, not even eat my food. I struggled in the beginning with my sexuality, my dad dying never knowing who I was, and I couldn't live another day fighting and going to war with myself. I was the heir to the company he built. So I do that to make him proud and for me." I watched her as she relived that part of her life. It has to be hard to open up to a complete stranger and just become so transparent. She looked at me. I don't know if it was for e to judge, or just to see how I was retaining the information she poured. I cleared my throat and spoke. "I think I just exist sometimes." I admitted, I've went my entire life just being what I thought I was supposed to be, eventually I was so unhappy I had to stop . And Now I don't know if that was the right decision." She listened so carefully before she spoke. "Everything that most people for themselves, you have someone to do for you. Drive, cook, clean, and whatever else. Did it not feel good to get out and be amongst people today? People you don't have on payroll?" I laughed, and looked down into the crowd of New Yorkers that strolled the strip. Our food had arrived and it was placed on the outside table, behind us. The egg white omelets topped with fresh tomatoes , onion and celery and sprinkled with cheese looked amazing, a broken yolk also sat comfortably on top of two pieces of whole wheat toast. I looked back at Brittany, finished my glass and responded. "We will see," she smirked as we sat and ate. We talked about childhood, my failed marriage, her coming out, me never having children, and our jobs. She gave so much wisdom it was like she had lived this life before. She loved her father, not really close to her mother, and loved adventures. I could listen to her all day! As we sipped on the delicate blends of cherry notes and aged barrel. The glass of Merlot turned into three, and soon the bottle had one more share left. We forgot our cups and took turns sipping from the bottle. As we loosened up. So did the conversation, we moved the conversation to inside, as we talked about what we wanted in a next partner, and sexual encounters with other women. I shared my secret that I haven't slept with a woman in 12 years. She was perplexed, never understood how I could go so long denying myself of that pleasure we both craved. I was sure my truth had her more turned on then concerned. She touched my inner thigh. It was like instantly my body began to feel unstable, and a tingle crept down into my most intimate part. She noticed the instant change of mood. And waited for an reaction. I had none. I wanted so badly to taste the remaining Merlot on her lips. To feel her soft cinnamon fragranced skin, to have the parts that made us a woman intertwined. "I'm sorry, the Merlot has definitely taken over me." I confessed. "What spell does it have you under? What is it telling you to do?" She responded without her eyes leaving my lips, and her hand slowly making its way to the middle of my tights. Thank God I didn't wear underwear. I wanted to feel her soft fingers tease me. I went for a kiss, spilling over the pitcher of orange juice all over our laps. Humiliated I spring into action cleaning my mess forgetting all about the steam that she and I produced. She laughed and called for someone to clean the mess. I jumped up soaked in the liquid vitamin C and so was she. "I'm really sorry, I don't know how that happened I.." before I could finish groveling She had taken her shirt off, two beautiful soft milky beast bounced in place. "Let's shower?" I couldn't speak, but the fire that was burning inside my tights was suddenly back that the OJ had temporarily put out. I texted Rodney and asked him to get two sets of sweats from Mandy. And followed her into the shower. Her tight long body looked even better wet. I was memorized watching the water ripple down her frame, she stood in front of me, facing me Waiting for me to enter the shower. I didn't want to ruin this moment with sex but I wanted to have her here and now! She pulled me into the soaked shower and planted herself against me. Her lips tasted as she smelled, before too long you couldn't tell where she began and I ended. Her fingers strummed my body as if I was a guitar. For me it was a bit like driving the car, something I haven't done in a while, but definitely freeing. I felt her erupt as I had, 20 minutes ago, and we sat there silent both taken by the moment. "You're beautiful," She whispered. In that moment I felt she really meant it. We toweled off, and went into the dinning room dressed in our towels, two pairs of black Dior tights and matching jackets lay out on top of the table, with a huge bowl freshly chopped fruit. We sat on the floor sharing the bowl of fruit before getting dressed. She laid her head in my lap and shared with me how perfect this morning had been. I wanted to see her again. Before I could ask she asked me about Tuesday for breakfast again. I smiled "This time, my place?" She made me want to make breakfast for her. We shared a kiss got dressed and headed back downstairs. The hustle of the restaurant has fell silent, and we headed for the cars. When Rodney arrived, we both beamed if excitement for me. "Rodney I want to drive!" He let out the biggest burst of laughter I've ever heard escape his lips, and opened the door to allow me inside the drivers seat. I instructed him to sit in the passenger seat as we both sat in silence On the journey home. I smiled a smile that was so intoxicating. Let down the Windows as Speak by Jhené Aiko surround us in the big vehicle. I was now feeling recharged, full, and optimistic. I wanted to take charge of myself, Brittany was good for me, What a Saturday.

Poor people need luck, Rich people have Faith

It's been more than three years since my divorce. Three years of feeling empty inside, three years of being lost. Three years of still finding pieces of my life to fit back together. More than anything I just longed for somewhere to belong, someone to love me. Someone to make me feel whole.

Poor people live in very unhealthy conditions because they are not well-fed and they live in bad conditions, and according to researchs, 1/5 of the people in Africa are malnourished. In short, we can say that poverty has direct negative effects on human health.

Afrika'da Açlığın Maliyeti Araştırması'nın bulgularına göre, Afrika ülkelerinde çocukların yetersiz beslenmesi nedeniyle Gayri Safi Yurtiçi Hasılanın (GSYİH) yüzde 1,9 ila 16,5'i arasında oranlarda kaybedildiği tahmin ediliyor. Ayrıca yetersiz beslenen çocukların, yaşam boyu gelir potansiyellerinin yüzde 10'undan fazlasını kaybetme riskine sahip oldukları tahmin ediliyor.
Covid-19 koşulları iyice zorlaştırdı
Mevcut yetersiz beslenme sorunlarına ek olarak, Covid-19 küresel sağlık krizi, Afrika ülkelerinin ekonomik kırılganlığını artırdı, sağlık ve gıda sistemlerinin zayıflıklarını büyük ölçüde ortaya çıkardı. Birçok Afrika ülkesinde virüsü uzak tutmanın bedeli, yetersiz beslenmeyi çözmeye ayrılan kaynakların tükenmesi oldu.
Yetersiz beslenmenin önüne geçmek için ne yapmalı?
Geçtiğimiz on yıl, küresel ve kıtasal düzeyde beslenmeye yatırım yapılmasının öneminin daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağladıysa da, çeşitli stratejiler yoluyla yetersiz beslenme sorununu yok etmek için halen çok çalışmak gerekiyor. Afrika Birliği, stratejisini şu kapsamda oluşturuyor:

1- Gıda ve beslenme güvenliği

Gıda ve beslenme güvenliği, sağlık ve dayanıklılığın önemli unsurlarıdır. Toplumda refah düzeyinin yükselmesi de buna bağlıdır. Bu sebeple ülkeler ve küresel kurumlar; krizleri önlemek, tahmin etmek ve krizlerden kurtulmak için işbirliği içinde daha fazla çaba sarf etmelidir.
2-Çok sektörlü yaklaşım
Yetersiz beslenme, çeşitli faktörlerin neden olduğu karmaşık bir sorundur. Bu sebeple de çözümünde yine pek çok sektörün bir arada çalışması gerekir. Sağlık hizmetleri, anne-çocuk sağlığı birimleri, temiz su temini, sanitasyon, eğitim gibi sosyal hizmetlere erişim öncelikli olmalıdır. Sektörler arasındaki işbirliği beslenme yetersizliği sorununun çözümünde önemlidir.
3-Tarım ve beslenme arasındaki bağlantı
Erken çocukluk dönemi başta olmak üzere tüm kriterlere özel önem verilmediği takdirde, gıda üretimini artırmak yetersiz beslenmeyi sona erdirmek için yeterli değildir. Özellikle doğumdan sonra ilk 6 ay sadece anne sütü ile beslenmeyi teşvik etmek, tamamlayıcı gıdalarla 2 yaşına kadar veya sonrasında emzirmeye devam etmek, hamile ve emziren kadınların, bebeklerin ve çocukların sağlık ve beslenmesini sağlamak önemlidir. Tarımın geliştirilmesi beslenme kalitesinin artmasında kilit role sahiptir. Beslenmeyi iyileştirmek için tarımsal ve gıda temelli müdahalelerin belirlenmesi, tasarlanması ve uygulanmasında tüm gıda sisteminin dikkate alınması gerekir.
4-Beslenmeyi iyileştirmek sistematik değişimi gerektirir
Sağlık; sürdürülebilir, çevreye ve iklime duyarlı gıda sistemleri aracılığıyla beslenmeye entegre edilmeli. En başta içme suyu temini dahil sanitasyon ve sanitasyon sistemleri; en savunmasız olanlar da dahil olmak üzere hiç kimsenin geride kalmamasını sağlayan etkili sosyal koruma sistemleri ve beslenme eğitimine yatırım önemlidir.
5-Beslenmeye yatırım yapmak
Beslenmeye yapılacak yatırımlar için mevcut finansman mekanizmaları güçlendirilmeli. Kamu, özel sektör işbirliği yanı sıra finansal araçları içeren yenilikçi ve sürdürülebilir kaynak seferberliğini artırmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
6-Eylem taahhütlerini yerine getirmek
Şimdiye kadar ne yazık ki politika taahhütleri ve stratejileri henüz beklenen sonuçları vermemiştir. Afrika üye devletlerinin, özellikle Afrika Birliği'nin 2025 Malabo Deklarasyonu'nda belirlenen hedefleri kapsamında siyasi taahhütleri ve bunların sahaya yansımalarını gözden geçirmeleri ve çaba sarf etmeleri gerekir.

I was born in Diyarbakir 20 years ago and I spent most of my life in Diyarbakir. As long as I can remember myself, I was always a child who was interested in foreign languages, especially English. When I looked at my hobbies, I saw that my hobbies such as watching movies, TV series and listening to music were also in English, so my interest in English increased more and I decided to advance in the field of language. Thus, I chose English teaching as the field I want to advance in, and now I am in the department of ELT at Marmara University. On this blog page, I would like to share my experiences as the student of the present and the teacher of the future.
