At HANCI we’re keen to support the use of our indices by the research community. This page brings together links to a number of resources providing more in-depth information about the methodology for HANCI, the construction of the indices and the selection of indicators. It also provides links to some other useful research papers that have either informed the development of the HANCI project or report on it.
For detailed enquiries about the HANCI methodology, the construction of the index and the indicators please contact lead researcher Dolf te Lintelo.
- For an overview of HANCI a good place to start is the About HANCI section of this website and our FAQ.

The Hunger Reduction Commitment Index
HANCI was preceded by a 2 year project to develop a pilot Hunger Reduction Commitment Index which has informed the development of the current HANCI index. Some of the documentation produced as part of that process may be of interest and is listed below.
