Kyrgyzstan's GHI Score is based on the values of four component indicators:

Note: — = Data are not available or not presented. See Table A.3 for provisional designations of the severity of hunger for some countries with incomplete data. *GHI estimates. Some countries did not exist in their present borders in the given year or reference period.

: very high

: very low

Note: Data for GHI scores, child wasting, and child stunting are from 1998–2002 (2000), 2006–2010 (2008), 2014–2018 (2016), and 2019–2023 (2024). Data for undernourishment are from 2000–2002 (2000), 2007–2009 (2008), 2015–2017 (2016), and 2021–2023 (2024). Data for child mortality are from 2000, 2008, 2016, and 2022 (2024).

ABOUT THE GLOBAL HUNGER INDEX SCORES

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool for comprehensively measuring and tracking hunger at global, regional, and national levels. GHI scores are based on the values of four component indicators:

Undernourishment: the share of the population with insufficient caloric intake.

Child stunting: the share of children under age five who have low height for their age, reflecting chronic undernutrition.

Child wasting: the share of children under age five who have low weight for their height, reflecting acute undernutrition.

Child mortality: the share of children who die before their fifth birthday, partly reflecting the fatal mix of inadequate nutrition and unhealthy environments.

Based on the values of the four indicators, a GHI score is calculated on a 100-point scale reflecting the severity of hunger, where 0 is the best possible score (no hunger) and 100 is the worst. Each country’s GHI score is classified by severity, from low to extremely alarming.
