The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool for comprehensively measuring and tracking hunger at global, regional, and national levels. It is published jointly by Welthungerhilfe, Concern Worldwide and IFHV every year. 

The Index focuses on four main indicators being:

1. 1.  Undernourishment: the share of the population with insufficient caloric intake.
2. 2. Child stunting: the share of children under the age of five who have low height for their age, reflecting chronic undernutrition.
3. 3. Child wasting: the share of children under the age of five who have low weight for their height, reflecting acute undernutrition.
4. 4. Child mortality: the share of children who die before their fifth birthday, partly reflecting the fatal mix of inadequate nutrition and unhealthy environments.

 

The GHI collects interdisciplinary knowledge and a wide arrange of data regarding world hunger. The researchers at the IFHV calculate, among other things, the Global Hunger Index.
