Learning from years of implementation, the Version 2.0 of the IPC technical guidance was released in 2012, leading to greater rigor and quality of products. Since then, the IPC scale has been expanded to measure chronic food insecurity in non-crisis and development contexts, through an iterative learning and prototype application process. The version 1.0 of the IPC Chronic Food Insecurity Classification was endorsed by the IPC Global Steering Committee in February 2014 and will be rolled out during this year. Moreover, with the constant expansion of IPC, a new interest has risen to finding ways to complement the IPC analysis also with a comprehensive nutrition component. In response to this demand, the IPC Global Partnership has committed to developing Acute Nutrition Classification tools and procedures. The resulting fully integrated IPC Food and Nutrition Security Phase Classification will include the analysis of acute malnutrition caused by food and non-food related factors.

Other important focuses of the GSU have been the application of the IPC Certification Programme to professionalize food security analysis and build an autonomous pool of IPC analysts and facilitators at country level, as well as the development of the IPC Information Support System (ISS), an innovative an innovative web-based application designed to efficiently create, store, and disseminate the IPC analyses and information.
