Abstract: Abstract To register its concern, and in keeping with the institution’s motto, ‘Our dream is a world without poverty’, the World Bank organized and hosted a World Conference on Overcoming Global Hunger that was held at The American University in Washington, DC on 30 November and 1 December 1993. The conference was attended by over 1,200 participants, including former US President Jimmy Carter, the UN secretary-general, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the president of the World Bank, Lewis T. Preston, and the administrator of USAID, Brian Atwood.12 The World Bank had responded to the call of US Congressman Tony Hall’s appeal13 for a conference to be organized at which those most knowledgeable about hunger and malnutrition in the developing world could meet to formulate an agenda for action (Serageldin and Landell-Mills, 1994).
