IPC EVENTS

The IPC Chronic Food Insecurity Classification  provides invaluable information for decision makers that focus on medium and long term objectives, making IPC an inclusive classification system to inform both crisis mitigation and prevention as well as structural and developmental policies and programs. In particular, the IPC-Chronic:

Measures the extent, severity and underlying factors of food insecurity

Clarifies differences between the causes, outcomes and character of acute and chronic food insecurity

Focuses on the analysis of structural and underlying causes of food insecurity

Detangles chronic food insecurity from poverty

Informs medium and long-term programmes and policies to address structural inefficiencies and poverty, strengthening livelihoods, and increasing resilience.
