Ethiopia reduced its rate of hungry people from 71% in 1990 to 46% in 2004, according to the report. In the same period Ghana more than halved its number of undernourished people from 34% to 9%. The report also suggests that around half the continent is on track to halve poverty by 2015.
On the other hand, the report noted that child mortality rates have increased in six sub-Saharan countries.
