The Integrated Food Security and Humanitarian Phase Classification (IPC) is an innovative set of tools (including a reference system and supporting protocols) for improving food security and humanitarian situation analysis, highlightedin issue 28 of Field Exchange1. Although originally developed for Somalia through the Food and Agricultural Organisation’s (FAO) Food Security Analysis Unit (FSAU), the FAO and strategic partners are now developing it at the global level.
Major agencies, organisations, NGO’s, academic and research institutions engaged in food security and humanitarian work have now recognised the value of the IPC framework for reaching technical consensus and issuing a clear statement about the severity of a crisis and assessing implications for humanitarian response. In this context, the IPC Online Global Forum was set-up to foster dialogue on technical and institutional issues among a widely dispersed group of participants, including food security experts from FAO, WFP, OCHA, WHO, FEWSNET, FSAU, ODI, DFID, the EC, USAID2, Save the Children UK, Oxfam, Tufts University and many more.
