2010 Global Hunger Index: The challenge of hunger by von Grebmer, Klaus, Ruel, Marie T., Menon, Purnima, Nestorova, Bella, Olofinbiyi, Tolulope, Fritschel, Heidi, Yohannes, Yisehac, von Oppeln, Constanze, Towey, Olive, Golden, Kate, Thompson, Jennifer

“…The largest deterioration in GHI scores was seen in the Democratic Republic of Congo, largely because of conflict and political instability. Economic performance and hunger are inversely correlated. Countries with high levels of gross national income (GNI) per capita, an important measure of economic performance, tend to have low 2010 GHI scores, and countries with low levels of GNI per capita tend to have high GHI scores. …”
