To get IMF's fiscal support, it has had to lower the worth of its currency, making the Birr fall by 30% against the US dollar. We hear about the continued suffering with malnutrition of children in Katsina northern Nigeria And how did Senegal get its largest national park removed from the UN’s list of World Heritage in Danger list? Presenter: Audrey Brown Producers: Charles Gitonga in Nairobi. Patricia Whitehorne, Sunita Nahar and Yvette Twagiramariya in London.
