Capitol Hill Forum 2004
January 27, 2004
11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Invitation

AIARD is pleased to announce the Capitol Hill Forum 2004 in the House Cannon Caucus Room, beginning at 11:30 a.m. on January 27, 2004. This year's event will focus on "International Agricultural Development: A Critical Priority in the Fight Against Undernutrition and HIV/AIDS."

A background paper, "The Agriculture, Nutrition, and HIV/AIDS Connections in Developing Countries," released in December, 2003, points out that the nutrition and health communities have generally not advocated food production and rural development as primary tools to alleviate undernutrition and poor health. The paper also identifies and describes the linkages that improved agriculture has with better nutrition and HIV/AIDS mitigation in developing countries. It also contains specific proposals for coordinated program implementation that would exploit the benefits of those linkages.

A program agenda is being prepared that will focus on the agriculture-nutrition-health connections and examine the "fit" of AIARD's proposals with the interests of the private commercial sector, USAID, and the Millennium Challenge Account. An especially outstanding group of speakers is being invited to address this issue. 


Mark your calendars and register if you plan to attend. We look forward to seeing you at this Forum!
