The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool designed to comprehensively measure and track hunger at the global, regional, and national levels. The GHI is designed to raise awareness and understanding of the struggle against hunger, provide a means to compare the levels of hunger between countries and regions and call attention to the areas of the world in greatest need of additional resources to eliminate hunger.

The index is based on four indicators: the proportion of undernourished in the population, the prevalence of wasting in children under 5 years, the prevalence of stunting in children under 5 years and the under-5 mortality rate.
