About African Global Development Initiative
The African Global Development Initiative (AGDI) is a visionary initiative of Vickie Smith and Ambassador Tochil Nwaneri. It is his way of giving back to society and addressing the pressing socioeconomic challenges confronting marginalized African communities, emphasizing that the region faces significant development hurdles, including widespread poverty, inadequate education, poor healthcare, limited economic opportunities, and insufficient social support networks.

THEORY OF CHANGE
We believe that by providing access to nutritious food, clean water, education, and economic empowerment opportunities and by promoting community leadership and advocacy, marginalized communities can break the cycle of poverty and hunger and achieve sustainable economic growth and development, improved food security, and better health and well-being, leading to a brighter future for themselves and their children.
Background
As the world grapples with the escalating crises of hunger and poverty, the African Global Development Initiative (AGDI) is poised to make a meaningful impact in combating hunger and poverty in the United States of America and Nigeria. The African Global Development Initiative (AGDI) is launching at a critical juncture in history, when collective action is imperative to address the staggering statistics that reveal the severity of these issues.
The world is facing a hunger crisis of unprecedented proportions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 828 million people suffer from hunger worldwide. The World Food Programme (WFP) reports that 1 in 9 people globally do not get enough food, and the Global Report on Food Crises reveals that hunger has increased by 25% since 2019.
The statistics on poverty and inequality are equally alarming. The World Bank reports that 736 million people live in extreme poverty, defined as less than $1.90 per day. Oxfam’s (2022) findings reveal that the wealthiest 1% hold 39% of global wealth, while the poorest half hold less than 1%. The United Nations reports that the global poverty rate has stagnated since 2015.
