{"id":48035,"title":"GHI 2025: 20 years of data and the demand for 'Zero Hunger' now","type":"actualidad","template":"","content":"<p data-path-to-node=\"2\"><b data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The reality of a world without hunger looks increasingly distant.<\/b> This is the conclusion of the <b data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"96\">2025 Global Hunger Index (GHI)<\/b>, which, after 20 years of data, demands the urgency of <strong>\"Zero Hunger Now.\"<\/strong> At the event, presented at the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), it was stated that the goal set for 2030 will not be reached until 2137 if we continue at the current pace. This represents a delay of more than a century behind schedule.<\/p>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">This latest edition of the <strong>2025 Global Hunger Index (GHI)<\/strong> is very significant as it marks a historical milestone: <b data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"114\">20 years of uninterrupted tracking<\/b> of global hunger trends. Unfortunately, two decades of data now show a deeply concerning \"stagnation\" in the fight for global food security.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"5\">Food as a Human Right<\/h2>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">The event featured a prominent speech by Guillermo L\u00f3pez Mac-Lellan, Ambassador of Spain to Ethiopia, who, alongside Mossess Vilakati (Commissioner for Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy, and Environmental Sustainability at the African Union), called for accountability from world leaders.<\/p>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">The ambassador was clear: food is not a favor; it is a <b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"55\">human right<\/b>. \"Food must never be used as a tool for coercion, political influence, or a weapon of war,\" he stated, denouncing the instrumentalization of hunger as a direct violation of international law that threatens human security.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"8\">The Ayuda en Acci\u00f3n Model: Beyond Emergencies<\/h2>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">In a context where Ethiopia ranks 100th on the index, the ambassador highlighted the work of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aecid.es\/\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"93\">Spanish Cooperation (AECID)<\/b><\/a> and specifically praised the trajectory of <b data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"164\">Ayuda en Acci\u00f3n<\/b>. Our organization was identified as a benchmark thanks to its <b data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"242\">\"Triple Nexus\"<\/b> approach, which combines:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"10\">\r\n \t<li>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">- Humanitarian Aid<\/b> for immediate crises.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">- Development<\/b> to create long-term autonomy.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">- Peacebuilding<\/b> to stabilize communities.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">The goal is to transform systems that are currently failing into structures that function in the long term, so that no one\u2019s future depends eternally on outside aid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"13\">A Failure of Systems and Priorities<\/h2>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\">The report, co-edited by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alliance2015.org\/\"> Alliance2015<\/a> members <b data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"46\">Concern Worldwide<\/b> and <b data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"68\">Welthungerhilfe<\/b>, reveals a difficult contradiction to process: while global military spending continues to break records, aid destined for the 42 countries with \"serious\" or \"alarming\" hunger levels is suffering drastic cuts. As Mossess Vilakati rightly pointed out, persistent hunger is not a natural disaster, but a <b data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"386\">\"failure of systems and priorities.\"<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"15\">Zero Hunger: An Obligation Today<\/h2>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">The day concluded with a message of urgency: it is not enough to send food in emergency situations; it is necessary to <b data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"119\">transform food systems from within<\/b>, driven by local African leadership.<strong> \"Zero Hunger\"<\/strong> must be a political obligation today, not a promise for the next century.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"16\">Where is hunger concentrated in 2025?<\/h2>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">This year's <strong>Global Hunger Index (GHI)<\/strong> map serves as a visual reminder that, although there is progress, the food security gap remains critical in several regions.<\/p>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48039 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/uploads\/2026\/03\/mapa-GHI-1-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"typography typography--h5\" style=\"text-align: center;\">You can consult the full report here<\/h5>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"cta_slider cta--color-\" href=\"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/en\/publications\/ghi-2025\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"> <button class=\"typography typography--h4 button button--h4 \"><span class=\"button__content\">SEE REPORT<\/span><\/button><\/a><\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"presentation-etiopia-ghi-2025","image":{"alt":"GHI 2025","caption":"","height":1440,"src":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GHI-2025-El-Indice-Global-del-Hambre-150x113.png","small":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GHI-2025-El-Indice-Global-del-Hambre-480x360.png","medium":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GHI-2025-El-Indice-Global-del-Hambre-1024x768.png","large":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GHI-2025-El-Indice-Global-del-Hambre.png","original":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GHI-2025-El-Indice-Global-del-Hambre.png"},"width":1920},"date":"2026-03-12 14:23:28","":{"actualidad_description_image":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualidad\/48035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualidad"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/actualidad"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
