Poverty and Hunger

We provide access to macrodata on levels and trends in poverty and hunger using secondary data sources. This includes both widely accepted measures linked to monitoring progress to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) ($1ppp /day poverty, prevalence of undernourishment, incidence of child mortality), as well as newer measures, such as IFPRI's Global Hunger Index (GHI) (see the map and data below) and insights into different patterns in the severity of poverty using the World Bank's PovCalNet tool.
