Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Initiative

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is a standardized tool for analyzing and responding to food security crises. It was originally developed in 2004 by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization's Food Security Analysis Unit for use in Somalia. The IPC integrates food security, nutrition, and livelihood information to provide a statement on the nature and severity of a crisis and its implications for strategic response. It has been adapted for use in various food security contexts by multiple national governments and international agencies.learn more on wikipedia
