The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is a multi-partner initiative that uses a classification and analytical approach to determine the severity and magnitude of acute and chronic food insecurity and malnutrition situations in a country. The goal is to provide decision-makers with evidence-based analysis to inform emergency responses and long-term policies. The IPC was developed in 2004 by FAO's Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) and has since been implemented globally in over 30 countries. It is considered a best practice in the food security field and a model of collaboration.
