Chile, China and Morocco are the latest in a growing list of countries to make great strides in combating undernourishment, such as the early achievement of the Millennium Development Goal 1 (MDG-1) - to halve the proportion of hungry people by 2015 - or the more stringent 1996 World Food Summit (WFS) target of halving the absolute number of hungry people by 2015. In 2013, FAO recognized 38 countries for achieving outstanding progress in fighting hunger. This year, FAO Director General, José Graziano da Silva, will award a diploma to China and Morocco for halving the proportion of hungry people (MDG-1 hunger target). Chile which had already reached its MDG-1 target will receive the diploma for halving the number of hungry people (WFS).
