"The Global Hunger Index"

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool used to assess and track hunger levels around the world. It combines indicators of undernourishment, child stunting, child wasting, and child mortality to provide a comprehensive score for countries. The GHI helps to highlight areas where hunger is most severe and illustrates progress or setbacks over time. By using this index, policymakers, researchers, and organizations can better understand food insecurity and target interventions to reduce hunger and improve nutrition globally. A lower GHI score indicates better food security, while a higher score points to more severe hunger challenges.
