Global ramifications

Africa: refugees, 2014
Internally displaced people = 9.9 million
Refugees originating from Africa = 4.6 million
Africa: unemployment, 2013
Total for the six highest = 11.8 million
(Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, Morocco,

What’s needed?A ‘Marshall plan’ for Africa’?
17
Livestock contribute at least 40% ofagricultural GDP in many African countries
ODA investment in agriculture is lessthan 5% of the total, and of that, less than 5% goes to livestock
In Africa, average governmentexpenditure on agriculture was 4.7% in2012.
Only Mali, Senegal and Burkina Faso spent over 8%, six countries spent5 – 8%, others all less than 5%
