HANCI works with partners in 5 countries – Bangladesh, Malawi, Tanzania, Nepal and Zambia – to support effective advocacy and document the views and perceptions of communities affected by hunger and undernutrition. These views are not used in the calculation of the index rankings but are intended as additional evidence to inform governments about what communities think their commitment to respond to addressing hunger and undernutrition challenges could look like.
The slideshows and videos on this page present some of these views. We are grateful to all the communities involved for their participation.
