Indonesia is an upper-middle-income country, with decreasing poverty, inequality and food insecurity. It is ranked 77 out of 125 countries on the 2023 Global Hunger Index. Undernourishment decreased to 8.5 percent in 2023 from 10.2 percent in 2022.
However, 68 out of 514 districts/municipalities remained vulnerable to food insecurity in 2023. Food prices continue to fluctuate, rendering household purchasing power precarious.
Nearly 5,000 disasters, stemming from environmental hazards and extreme weather events, occurred in Indonesia in 2023 – a 39.2 percent increase from 2022. Most of them were attributable to climate anomalies. In this period, disasters affected over 8.7 million people – a 46 percent increase from 2022.
WFP engages in policy dialogue and provides technical assistance to the Government of Indonesia on food security and nutrition analysis, climate and disaster risk management, and healthy diets.
