Following the recommendations of the final evaluation of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) Global Strategic Programme 2014-2018 (GSP), the IPC Steering Committee decided to put on hold the roll-out of the Chronic Food Insecurity scale (CFI). Several studies carried out between 2015 and 2019, including the evaluation of the GSP, have brought to light the strengths and weaknesses of the IPC CFI, regarding its relevance and use for policy decision making, governance and implementation structure, implementation process and communication and dissemination of results (see in Annex 1 main issues identified and recommendations made by recent studies). The most important recurrent finding of these assessments is that in most countries where the IPC CFI has been implemented, there is no or scarce evidence that its results have been used as a key source of information for decision making. This motivated the decision to put the roll-out on hold.
