Jacques Diouf, Director of FAO, 2009 – – – FOREWORD The 2009 Global Hunger Index (GHI) report comes in a year in which the world is facing a series of crises – high and volatile food prices combined with financial crunch and economic recession. Unfortunate- ly, these events pose the greatest risks to poor and vulnerable house- holds, with often dire consequences for their food security. This is the fourth year that the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has calculated and analyzed this multi- dimensional measure of global hunger. This series of reports records the state of hunger worldwide and country by country, drawing atten- tion to the countries and regions where action is most needed. In this way, the reports support policy advice and advocacy work on both na- tional and international platforms. It is important to remember that this report offers a picture of the past, not the present. The calculation of the GHI is limited by the collection of data by various governments and international agen- cies. The 2009 GHI incorporates data only until 2007 – the most recent available. This GHI report therefore does not fully reflect the impact of recent increases in food and energy prices or the eco- nomic downturn.

Sumy State University ABSTRACT The paper deals with analysis of the linking between level of social progress and macroeconomic stability as the basis for the foresight of the country’s development strategy. For that purpose, the authors analysed the main indicators which influenced on country’s level of macroeconomic stability. On the findings, we allocate the main social determinants which should be taken to account during the developing the country’s development strategy. In the paper, the authors tried to prove the hypothesis: the linking between levels of macroeconomics stability and social progress. Thus, the authors used the economics and mathematical approaches as follows: TOPSIS, σ and β-convergences, cross-sectional regression analysis, principle component analysis, least square method, moment method of Arellano-Bond. The focus of investigation was: five latest members of EU (Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia, Romania and Poland) and Ukraine. The dataset for analysing were taken from nine data bases: World Data Bank, United Nations, World Intellectual Property Organization, The Heritage Foundation, Freedom House and etc. On the statistical dataset the authors developed the massive of statistics information on 19 parameters which have been structural consolidated under three main sub-indexes: “Life, Health, Welfare”, “Science, Education, Cultural”, “Freedom, Equal, Safety”. On the obtained results of the convergence between social progress and macroeconomic stability, the authors developed the model which allowed described the character of the linking between macroeconomic stability and level of the social progress.

This article examines Kyrgyzstan’s rank in various international ratings in order to assess its ability to achieve sustainable development (in the long and short term), as well as improve its image and external appeal. In so doing, efforts were focused on determining the relationship between the progress reflected in the dynamics of its rankings and the policy carried out by the country’s govern- ment.
