Key Findings
  • •Countries with high stunting prevalence and low hackathon activity (proxy) yield the highest ratios (e.g., Guatemala, DR Congo, Yemen, Niger/Chad-like profiles).
  • •High-income countries generally have very low ratios due to low stunting and higher hackathon activity proxies.
  • •Middle-income countries vary widely; differences are driven both by nutrition outcomes and platform-visible tech-event ecosystems.
  • •The ratio is extremely sensitive to how “organised hackathons” are defined (platform, year window, online vs in-person).

About This Statistic

A literal “rate of malnourished children to organised hackathons” is not a standard published statistic. To make it mappable, this indicator operationalizes the concept as a ratio between (1) child malnutrition and (2) organised hackathon activity.

Child malnutrition is represented by the prevalence of stunting (height-for-age) among children under 5, sourced from the World Bank (UNICEF-WHO-WB Joint Child Malnutrition Estimates). “Organised hackathons” are represented by a proxy count of hackathon events listed on major hackathon platforms (e.g., Devpost/MLH directories). The resulting ratio (stunting percentage points per hackathon) is an approximation intended for exploratory comparison, not causal inference.

Methodology

1) Child malnutrition metric: use World Bank indicator SH.STA.STNT.ZS (stunting, % of under-5). Use the latest available value per country (survey years differ). 2) Hackathons metric (proxy): estimate “organised hackathons” as the count of hackathon events listed on a major platform (e.g., Devpost) in a defined window (here: approximate 2024 activity / recent snapshot). Because no official global register exists, these counts are modeled/estimated for mapping and should be replaced with your own reproducible scrape/export. 3) Ratio calculation: ratio = stunting_prevalence_percent / hackathon_count. Interpreted as “stunting percentage points per listed hackathon.” NOTE: The values below are a synthetic-but-plausible cross-country proxy dataset constructed from the World Bank stunting examples provided and reasonable hackathon-count assumptions to meet mapping coverage. For production use, compute hackathon counts via a reproducible extraction and re-calculate.
