Description
Summary:The developing world has made progress in reducing hunger since 2000. The 2015 Global Hunger Index (GHI) shows that the level of hunger in developing countries as a group has fallen by 27 percent. Yet the state of hunger in the world remains serious. This marks the tenth year that IFPRI has assessed global hunger using this multidimensional measure. This report’s GHI scores are based on a new, improved formula that replaces the child underweight indicator of previous years with child stunting and child wasting. This change reflects the latest thinking on the most suitable indicators for child undernutrition, one of three dimensions of hunger reflected in the GHI formula. Across regions and countries, GHI scores vary considerably. Regionally, the highest GHI scores, and therefore the highest hunger levels, are still found in Africa south of the Sahara and South Asia. Despite achieving the largest absolute improvements since 2000, these two regions still suffer from serious levels of hunger. Levels of hunger are alarming or serious in 52 countries. Most of the eight countries with alarming GHI scores are in Africa south of the Sahara. While no countries are classified in the extremely alarming category this year, this high level of hunger could still exist. Due to insufficient data, 2015 GHI scores could not be calculated for places that recently suffered from high levels of hunger, including Burundi, Comoros, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan.

Bonn, Germany; Washington, D.C. and Dublin, Ireland: Welthungerhilfe; International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and Concern Worldwide. http://dx.doi.org/10.2499/9780896299665 L’Indice de la faim dans le monde 2015 (GHI) montre que le niveau de la faim dans les pays en développement pris dans leur ensemble s’améliore depuis l’an 2000, affichant une baisse de 27%. Cependant, l’état de la faim dans le monde demeure malgré tout « grave ». Pour l’IFPRI, cette année marque le dixième anniversaire de son travail d’analyse multidimensionnelle de la faim dans le monde. Les scores GHI de ce rapport ont été calculés à l’aide d’une nouvelle formule améliorée : l’indicateur de l’insuffisance pondérale infantile utilisé les années précédentes a été remplacé par l’émaciation et le retard de croissance infantiles. Ce changement reflète les courants de pensée actuels sur l’indicateur de la sous-alimentation infantile le plus pertinent, une des trois dimensions prises en compte dans le mode de calcul du GHI. Les scores GHI varient fortement selon les pays et les régions. A l’échelle régionale, ce sont encore l’Afrique subsaharienne et l’Asie du Sud qui présentent les scores GHI les plus importants, et par conséquent les niveaux de faim les plus élevés. Même si les deux régions sont parvenues à réaliser les meilleures améliorations en termes absolus, elles continuent de souffrir de niveaux de faim « graves ». von Grebmer, Klaus; Bernstein, Jill; de Waal, Alex; Prasai, Nilam; Yin, Sandra; Yohannes, Yisehac. 2015.

Der Welthunger-Index 2015 (WHI) zeigt, dass die Hungerwerte dort insgesamt um 27 Prozent gesunken sind. Dennoch bleibt die Hungersituation weltweit „ernst“. In diesem Jahr hat IFPRI zum zehnten Mal den weltweiten Hunger mithilfe dieses multidimensionalen Instruments erfasst. Im vorliegenden Bericht wurden die WHI-Werte unter Anwendung einer neuen, verbesserten Formel errechnet, in der der bisher verwendete Indikator „Untergewicht bei Kindern“ durch die Komponenten „Wachstumsverzögerung bei Kindern“ (engl. „stunting“) und „Auszehrung bei Kindern“ (engl. „wasting“) ersetzt wurde. Mit dieser Veränderung wurde den neuesten Ansichten zu aussagekräftigen Indikatoren für die Unterernährung bei Kindern – eine der drei Dimensionen des Hungers, die die WHI-Formel abbildet –Rechnung getragen. von Grebmer, Klaus; Bernstein, Jill; de Waal, Alex; Prasai, Nilam; Yin, Sandra; Yohannes, Yisehac. 2015. 2015 Indice globale della fame: I conflitti armati e la sfida della fame.

L’Indice Globale della Fame (GHI) 2015 mostra che i livelli di fame nei Paesi in via di sviluppo si sono ridotti del 27%. Ciononostante, la situazione della fame nel mondo resta grave. Questo è il decimo anno che IFPRI presenta una valutazione della fame mondiale usando questo strumento di misurazione multidimensionale. I punteggi di GHI di questo rapporto si basano su una nuova formula, rivista, che sostituisce l’indicatore “insufficienza di peso infantile” degli anni scorsi con il deperimento e il ritardo della crescita infantili. Questo cambiamento riflette gli ultimi sviluppi teorici sugli indicatori più idonei della sottonutrizione infantile, una delle tre dimensioni della fame espresse dalla formula del GHI. I punteggi di GHI variano notevolmente da regione a regione, e da Paese a Paese. A livello regionale, i punteggi di GHI più alti, e quindi i livelli più alti di malnutrizione, si registrano nell’Africa a sud del Sahara e in Asia meridionale. Nonostante abbiano ottenuto i più ampi miglioramenti in termini assoluti rispetto al 2000, queste due regioni presentano ancora livelli di fame grave. von Grebmer, Klaus; Bernstein, Jill; de Waal, Alex; Prasai, Nilam; Yin, Sandra; Yohannes, Yisehac. 2015. 2015 Global hunger index: Armed conflict and the challenge of hunger [in Korean].

GHI 지수는 지역과 국가에 따라 상당히 다를 수 있습니다. GHI 지수가 가장 높은 지역, 즉, 기아가 가장 심각한 지역은 여전히 사하라 이남 아프리카와 남아시아입니다. 2000년 이후 광범위하고 절대적인 진전이 있었음에도 불구하고 이 두 지역들은 여전히 심각한 수준의 기아에 시달리고 있습니다. 52개국은 위험 내지는 심각한 단계입니다. 위험 단계의 GHI 지수를 나타내는 8개국 대부분은 사하라 이남 아프리카 지역입니다. 올해의 GHI에는 매우 위험 단계에 속한 국가가 없지만 높은 수준의 기아는 여전히 존재할 수 있습니다. 왜냐하면 남수단, 부룬디, 소말리아, 수단, 에리트레아, 코모로, 콩고공화국 등의 국가들이 최근 높은 수준의 기아에 시달리고 있음에도 불구하고 불충분한 데이터로 인해 2015 GHI 지수에 반영될 수 없었기 때문입니다.
