Q. Global Hunger Index?

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is designed to comprehensively measure and track hunger at global, regional and national levels. Global Hunger Scores are calculated each year to assess progress and setbacks in combating hunger. The GHI is designed to raise awareness and understanding of the struggle against hunger, provide a way to compare levels of hunger between countries and regions, and 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.
