Eritrea, Burundi and Comoros are leading global hunger (with MAP)
Twenty-three of the 120 countries monitored by the Global Hunger Index, which maps the global hunger, are making "significant progress" in improving nutrition and food security of its citizens. Namely, global hunger is slowing.According to the ranking of 2013, which will be presented this week, the 10 countries with the highest progression are Angola, Ethiopia, Malawi, Niger, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. "In 2000, the South Asia had a better result than sub-Saharan Africa, but now [the opposite occurs]," explained the director of the Institute of Development Studies, Lawrence Haddad. "You always think it the worst news come from Africa but, at a regional level, there is a serious upgrade from 2006".Angola, for example, is now yellow. Namely, hunger is a problem, "serious", but it is no longer "alarming" or "extremely alarming".The study also suggests that red alarming that if spread, in 2006, for the entire African continent, is now orange. Much of Orange went to yellow â€" which means "serious but not alarming." Ghana, for example, is already on the Green â€" i.e. There is hunger "moderated".Unfortunately, there are still countries in the red zone, like Burundi, Eritrea or Comoros. In Swaziland, hunger is not so extreme, but there is a glaring deficiency in nutrition. According to the Global Hunger Index, however, the famine in Swaziland went up 38% since 1990, something absolutely incomprehensible."There are some factors that explain this trend, like HIV," reveals Dominic MacSorley, CEO of Concern Worldwide.Read the report in full.
