The HANCI Donor Index
has been created to:
1) Rank donor
governments on their political commitment to tackling hunger and undernutrition
in developing countries;
2) Measure what
donors achieve and where they fail in
addressing hunger and undernutrition – providing greater transparency and
public accountability;
3) Praise
donor governments where due, and
highlight areas for improvement;
4) Support civil
society to reinforce and stimulate additional commitment towards reducing
hunger and undernutrition;
5) Assess whether improving donor commitment levels lead to a reduction in hunger and undernutrition.
We compared 23 donor countries for their performance on 14 indicators of political commitment to reduce hunger and undernutrition. We looked at two areas of donor government action:
· Policies and Programmes
· Public Expenditures
Because hunger and
nutrition are not the same thing, we investigate both hunger reduction
commitment and undernutrition reduction commitment using distinct measures.
For instance, donor governments can financially support child care and feeding programmes and invest in sanitation: such measures are critical for improving nutrition, though less clearly related to hunger. Conversely, emergency food aid, or agricultural development programmes can help to reduce hunger by increasing food availability, but are often not aimed at achieving a balanced diet. By separately analysing nutrition commitment and hunger reduction commitment we identify how donors prioritise action on hunger and/or undernutrition.
