Integrated Food Security Phase Classification

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is a tool used to analyze and communicate the severity of food security issues in different areas. It categorizes regions into phases based on factors like food availability, access, and nutritional well-being. These phases range from minimal food insecurity to famine, helping governments, aid organizations, and communities understand where urgent action is needed. The IPC provides a standardized way to assess and compare food security situations, guiding targeted interventions to prevent crises and improve people's access to sufficient, nutritious food.
