This guidance note provides information on how to explore the linkages between IPC Acute Food Insecurity (AFI) and IPC Acute Malnutrition (AMN) scales. This document should be used when the AFI and AMN analyses show different phases for the same areas, especially when there is a difference of two or more phases between AFI and AMN classifications. It focuses on exercises in which IPC AFI and IPC AMN analyses are run concurrently or consecutively. Nevertheless, it may also be used in contexts where only IPC AFI analyses are conducted and there’s divergence between AFI and AMN – e.g. AFI phases and AMN phases (based on the acute malnutrition thresholds in the AFI reference table) don’t match.
