Global hunger efforts stall in Sub-Saharan Africa

Global efforts to combat hunger have deteriorated since 2018, especially in the Sub-Saharan Africa region, which hosts the world's three most severe food crises. The Global Hunger Index has risen for the first time since 2000, indicating worsening levels of hunger in 32 countries, while only making limited progress in 20 others. Approximately 266 million people across 47 countries face high levels of food insecurity, with armed conflict being the primary cause, as it leads to displacement and destruction of livelihoods. This situation has been compounded by droughts and rising food prices. Additionally, funding for food aid has decreased by 59% between 2022 and 2025, resulting in reduced aid programs and increased difficulty in monitoring crises. Globally, the number of people affected by chronic hunger reached 645 million in 2025, with a slight but concerning increase in severe crises.
