INNOVATIVE
APPROACHES TO GOOD HEALTH BY ARCH NAMADI SAMBO
Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI) In
Agriculture:
Arc Namadi's administration is
opening various channels to attract foreign direct investment, particularly,
in agriculture and Information technology areas.
Poor
health and malnutrition impair physical and mental capacities, and therefore
the ability for productive work. This has been amply demonstrated time and
time again. Despite bi-directional causality, these findings suggest that
fighting hunger may be a growth-promoting economic investment, not only a
human rights obligation. The importance of the agricultural sector and of
rural poverty has led many countries to pursue strategies focused on
reducing chronic food insecurity through increasing the productivity of
small farmers. Such strategies require that financial resources and
institutional capacity be available, and that rural poor can access
productive land and affordable inputs, and that the non-farming poor can
express their unsatisfied food needs in terms of effective demand. In most
case, however, this approach is constrained in scale by lack of resources,
domestic and external, and institutional capacity.

Since
adequate nutrition, health and elementary education are prerequisites for
inclusive economic growth, ensuring the broadest possible access to
essential food needs, safe water, primary health care and primary education
may well be an indispensable use of scarce resources to reach the WFS
target. Therefore, Namadi Sambo's direct interventions aimed at boosting
current food production and at creating conditions for healthy living are
right as they accompany policies (including public investment priorities)
aiming at overall and agricultural development.
The importance of adequate investment to sustain
the necessary growth of agricultural production and widespread progress in
agricultural productivity in developing countries has been repeatedly
underlined by Governor
Namadi
Sambo. In addition, the demands for improved health,
nutrition, and poverty reduction are exacting. In the next four term,
resources will be mobilised domestically and internationally (attract
investors) to the scale required for sustainable development in
Kaduna State.
