The GHI is also based on <a href=\"http:\/\/iwacu-burundi.org\/opendata\/en\/iod-bu-009-under-five-mortality-rate\/\">the under-5 mortality rate<\/a>, and on the proportion of the global population suffering from undernourishment. This last variable is not known for Burundi: the GHI can therefore not be calculated. However, in its 2014 report, IFPRI has estimated that the GHI for Burundi was, between 2009-2013, of 35.6 (against 39 for 2003-2007) . For comparison, this index is similar, in 2016, to Madagscar, Sierra Leone and Yemen. The higher it is, the more the problem of hunger is high. The original producers of data are UNICEF, the World Health Organization and the World Bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indicators of malnutrition are based on the prevalence of wasting in children under five years and on the prevalence of stunting in children under five years (WHO standards).
