Indonesia is an upper-middle-income country, with decreasing poverty, inequality and food insecurity. It ranked 67 out of 127 countries on the 2024 Global Hunger Index. Undernourishment decreased to 8.5 percent in 2023 from 10.2 percent in 2022. 

Despite progress in food security and good nutrition, Indonesia continues to face major challenges, including the triple burden of malnutrition – undernutrition, overnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. 

Climate risks and natural hazards further threaten these gains. In 2024, Indonesia ranked as the world’s second most disaster-prone country, affecting 6.3 million people. Extreme weather led to crop failures and rising food insecurity, with 21 percent of children under 5 suffering from stunting.

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.
