KATHMANDU - Nepal ranks 72 out of 118 countries in a recent report published by the International Food Policy Research Institute's (IFPRI) Global Hunger Index (GHI). The Himalayan nation, however, needs to focus on reducing maternity rate and institutionalize policies to tackle stunting of children under five.

The GHI score for Nepal stands at 21.9 and it is still rated a serious 'hunger' level. The positive side is that Nepal had a score of 29.2 in 2008 and has decreased by -7.3. The report suggests that Nepal can improve its position by improving its capability on food security, focusing on malnutrition and undernutrition.

Argentina stands at first in the GHI report. The full report can be accessed at 2016 Global Hunger Index
