Title: Indicators on undernourishment and critical food poverty at national and sub-national levels
1Indicators on undernourishment and critical food
poverty at national and sub-national levels
Ricardo Sibrian Senior Statistician Statistics
Division, FAO
2Poverty (extreme) as measured by indicator MDG
1.1 and undernourishment as measured by
indicator MDG 1.9
MDG indicator number 1.1 Proportion of
population below 1 (PPP) (distribution of
income or proxy total expenditure /person/day)
MDG indicator 1.9 Proportion of population below
the minimum level of dietary energy consumption
(distribution of energy consumption
Kcals/person/day)
3Strong non-linear relationship between GDPppp and
DEC (limited to GDP data available)
4Strong non-linear relationship between MDG1.9 and
MDG1.9 (limited to extreme poverty data
available)
5- Strong relationship between MDG1.1 and MDG1.9 in
SSA, SA, EA and EECA - Extreme poverty higher than undernourishement in
SSA, SA, EA and EECA

7FOOD DEPRIVATION Prevalence of food deprivation
Under the assumption of log normal distribution
- MDER Energy intake acceptable as
minimum requirement - ? Standard
normal cumulative distribution with
parameters ? and ? defined as

distribution
8FOOD DEPRIVATION Prevalence of food deprivation
MDER Minimum dietary energy requirement
Weighted by sex and age population structure.
Energy required by persons of the same sex and
age in population groups with
