Somalia has the highest level of hunger according to the 2021 GHI ranking
Current projections based on the Global Hunger Index (GHI) show that the world as a whole — and 47 countries in particular — will fail to achieve even low hunger by 2030.
After decades of decline, the global prevalence of undernourishment is increasing. This shift may be an indication of reversals in other measures of hunger.
What is the Global Hunger Index?
The GHI is an annual peer-reviewed publication by Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe.
It aims to track hunger at global, regional and national levels.
