Haiti - Social : Haiti is hungry 11/11/2017 05:58:30 To capture the multidimensional nature of hunger, GHI scores are based on four component indicators—undernourishment, child wasting, child stunting, and child mortality. The 27 percent improvement noted above reflects progress in each of these indicators according to the latest data from 2012–2016 for countries in the GHI. Regarding Haiti whose score decreased from 51.6 (1992) 42.7 (2000) 42.6 (2008) to 34.2 in 2017 (compared to 11.6 for the Dominican Republic), the report says "These averages conceal some troubling results within each region, however, including scores in the serious range for Tajikistan, Guatemala, Haiti, and Iraq and in the alarming range for Yemen, as well as scores in the serious range for half of all countries in East and Southeast Asia, whose average benefits from China’s low score of 7.5. [...] In terms of undernourishment, Zambia, Haiti, and CAR have the highest shares of undernourished people: between 45.9 and 58.6 percent of their populations cannot meet their minimum calorie needs. [...]" In the Central America and Caribbean region, Haiti ranked last (34.2), followed by Guatemala (20.7), Honduras (14.3), Nicaragua (13.6), Dominican Republic (11.6), El Salvador (11.1), Panama (9.2), Jamaica (8.0), Mexico (6.5), Costa Rica (5.3) and Cuba (<5).
