Dateline Africa: Can a crisis be averted?
Moderator: Kiki Edozie, Director African Studies Program, Columbia University

Panelists: Eric Kashambuzi, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)/United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA); John Sauer, Action Against Hunger; Ivan O'Mahoney, Insight News Television*; Eric Whitney, Common Ground Radio; Jan Goodwin*, journalist/author

Description of panel discussion: A crisis is emerging in Africa that will surpass past food shortages in terms of complexity and extent.  This one stems from government decisions regarding trade; and the lack of clean water, food security and health care.  Journalists and advocates will provide eyewitness accounts of life in Africa and demystify the many facets of this imminent catastrophe.
