Note: This 2023 Global Hunger Index report supersedes all former GHI results. As always, rankings and index scores from this table cannot be accurately compared to rankings and index scores from previous reports. The 2000, 2008, and 2015 scores and indicator data contained within this table and the 2023 report are currently the only data that can be used for valid comparisons of the GHI over time (see Methodology).
