Integrated Food Security Phase Classification
- Integrated Food Security Phase Classification
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is a tool for improving food security analysis and decision-making. It is a standardised scale that integrates food security, nutrition and livelihood information into a statement about the nature and severity of a crisis and implications for strategic response.
The IPC was originally developed for use in Somalia by The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization’s Food Security Analysis Unit (FSAU). Several national governments and international agencies are now working together to adapt it to other food security contexts.
