Yellen spoke after hearing from a woman beekeeper and other farmers whose work was supported by a U.S.-backed project in a rural Zambian village. Part of the broader Green Climate Fund, the project helps small-scale farmers in 155 villages in Zambia produce more food and manage the impacts of climate change.
Member Faustina Piri welcomed the U.S. official's visit to the remote area as a big achievement, noting that the savings club was making "a big difference" in improving the lives of all those involved., the first of a series of visits planned this year by President Joe Biden and key members of his Cabinet as part of a concerted push to expand ties with African nations.
Washington will continue to support short-term efforts to increase access to food, after committing $2 billion in emergency aid to Africa last year, Yellen said, but the long-term goal was to make the need for humanitarian aid "exceptional and rare." A new Group of Seven infrastructure initiative could deliver hundreds of billions of dollars of investment to build the needed infrastructure, transport and logistics systems.

But first stop destabilizing them and stop all coup ops.
