What is the Global Hunger Index and how is it calculated? | The Hindu

The Global Hunger Index 2022 was released recently. Out of 121 countries in this list, India’s ranking is at 107.

It was Jointly published by Concern Worldwide and Welt Hunger Hilfe, Non-Government Organisations from Ireland and Germany respectively.

What is the Global Hunger Index?

The Global Hunger Index, or GHI, has been released almost every year since 2000

It is a tool for comprehensively measuring and tracking hunger at global, regional, and national levels.

The GHI is intended to raise awareness and understanding of the struggle against hunger.

It provides a way to compare levels of hunger between countries and regions.

And even call attention to those areas of the world where hunger levels are highest and where the need for additional efforts to eliminate hunger is greatest.

The reason for mapping hunger is to ensure that the world achieves “Zero Hunger by 2030”, which is one of the Sustainable Development Goals laid out by the United Nations.
