Bangladesh has made a little progress in terms of score in the Global Hunger Index with continuous development in cutting child undernourishment. In the 2023 index, however, Bangladesh ranks 81st out of the 125 countries with sufficient data for calculation, down from 76th among 116 countries in 2022, reports bdnews24.com. With a score of 19.0 in the 2023 Global Hunger Index, Bangladesh has a level of hunger that is moderate. The Global Hunger Index, a tool for comprehensively measuring and tracking hunger at global, regional, and national levels, is a peer-reviewed annual report, jointly published by Concern Worldwide and WelthungerhilfeGHI scores are based on the values of four component indicators. These reductions in hunger are particularly impressive given the challenges facing the world and the stagnation in hunger levels at the global level in recent years, the report said.
