INTRODUCTION:-

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a

multidimensional statistical tool used to describe the

state of countries hunger situation. The GHI measures

progress and failures in the global fight against hunger.

The GHI is updated once a year.

The Index was adopted and further developed by

the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI),

and was first published in 2006 with the Welthungerhilfe,

a German non-profit organisation (NGO).

OBJECTIVES:-It has following 3 objectives:

Design a GHI as a tool for international monitoring &

advocacy, and demonstrate its added value.

Rank countries according to the GHI & illustrate trends.

Interpret the GHI findings & analyze determinants of

hunger.

CONCEPT & CALULATION:-

Hunger has many faces: increased

susceptibility to disease, shortfalls in nutritional status,

loss of energy, disability, death due to starvation, or

infectious diseases whose lethal course is the result of

weakened general health.

The GHI is designed to capture several

dimensions of hunger in one value, thus giving an

overview of the complex problem.

CALCULATION

The Global Hunger Index is calculated as follows:

PUN + CUW+ CM

GHI=

3

PUN: proportion of the population that is undernourished

(in %)

CUW: prevalence of underweight children under five

(in %)

CM: proportion of children dying before the age of five

(in %)

GHI RESULT 2009:-

The 2009 GHI themed “The Challenge of Hunger: Focus

on Financial Crisis & Gender inequality” prepared by

IFPRI was released in October 2009. The GHI 2009 shows

that world wide progress in reducing hunger remains

slow. The 2009 GHI has fallen by only one quarter from

the 1990 GHI.

countries. According to the FAO statistics, there are

more than 1 billion hungry people in the world & 915

million of them are in developing countries. They are

distributed like this:

640 million in Asia & the Pacific

265 million in Sub-Saharan Africa

CONCLUSION:

In Conclusion, the fight against hunger remains

very much a task of public action by both government &

civil society organizations.

It is hoped that the GHI will strengthen the

attention to the hunger problem & make both developing

& developed countries, national & international players,

more accountable for their commitments & will help to

speed up urgently needed progress in the fight against

hunger.
