UPSC IAS – 2016
The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool designed to comprehensively measure and track hunger at global, regional, and national levels. It is calculated based on four component indicators.
The four component indicators used to calculate the Global Hunger Index are:
1. **Undernourishment:** The share of the population whose caloric intake is insufficient.
2. **Child Stunting:** The share of children under the age of five who have low height for their age, reflecting chronic undernutrition.
3. **Child Wasting:** The share of children under the age of five who have low weight for their height, reflecting acute undernutrition.
4. **Child Mortality:** The mortality rate of children under the age of five (partially reflecting the fatal synergy of inadequate nutrition and unhealthy environments).
The Global Hunger Index is jointly published by Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe. IFPRI (International Food Policy Research Institute) was previously involved in the publication up to 2018. The question states “used by IFPRI to compute the Global Hunger Index Report”, which refers to the methodology that IFPRI helped develop and used during their involvement. All three indicators listed in the question (Undernourishment, Child stunting, Child mortality) are indeed components of the GHI calculation.
