Indonesia's community hunger index shows a downward trend from 2000-2021.

According to the Global Hunger Index (GHI), in 2021 Indonesia's hunger level was at 18, a significant decrease from 2000 when the index was at 26.1.

The GHI measures hunger levels on a scale of 0-100. The higher the score, the worse the hunger level is considered. Indonesia's hunger index, currently at 18, falls into the moderate category.

The decrease in Indonesia's hunger index is driven by a reduction in the proportion of the undernourished population, the prevalence of stunted children (stunting), and the national infant mortality rate. However, the prevalence of wasted children is still increasing.

Here's a breakdown of the changes in the four main indicators of Indonesia's hunger index from 2000-2021:

* Proportion of Undernourished Population: decreased from 19.2% to 6.5%
* Prevalence of Stunting in Children: decreased from 42.4% to 30.8%
* Infant Mortality Rate: decreased from 5.5% to 2.4%
* Prevalence of Wasting in Children: increased from 5.5% to 10.2%

Although there has been general improvement, Indonesia's hunger index is still considered high in Southeast Asia. Here are the hunger indices of 8 ASEAN countries in 2021:

1. Laos: 19.5
2. Indonesia: 18.0
3. Myanmar: 17.5
4. Cambodia: 17.0
5. Philippines: 16.8
6. Vietnam: 13.6
7. Malaysia: 12.8
8. Thailand: 11.7
