About Global Hunger Index

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool designed to measure and track hunger globally, focusing on its dimensions and causes.
It is published annually by the Welthungerhilfe and Concern Worldwide.
GHI score is calculated based on four indicators:
- Undernourishment: The proportion of the population that is undernourished.
- Child Wasting: The percentage of children under 5 who have low weight for their height (indicative of acute malnutrition).
- Child Stunting: The percentage of children under 5 who have low height for their age (indicative of chronic malnutrition).
- Child Mortality: The mortality rate of children under 5.
