Kristalina Georgieva, European Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response: ‘Simple measures yield big results. For example in Sahel, malnutrition has been cut by 51 %. In 2012 people were mobilised through an early warning system. This enhanced response meant that a disaster was avoided. It could have been a huge tragedy.’
