The IPC global initiative is committed to the humanitarian imperative and to providing analysis of food and nutrition crises where and when needed to inform response. However, there are situations in which available data are insufficient to conduct an IPC analysis. In these situations, especially where information points to a rapid deterioration that could lead to Famine (IPC Phase 5) conditions, the IPC has a duty to provide information as soon as possible to enable responses to save lives and alleviate human suffering. To operationalise its commitment to humanitarian and local response mechanisms and to provide timely information where and when needed, the IPC global initiative has developed Standard Operating Procedures for issuing IPC Alerts in such situations.
