Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) Technical Manual Version 1.1
Within the cross-cutting field of food security analysis there are increasingly strong calls for improved analysis. These include: the greater comparability of results from one place to another, increased rigour, greater transparency of evidence to support findings, increased relevance to strategic decision making, and stronger linkages between information and action. Central to meeting these challenges is the development of a classification system that is generic enough to be utilized in a v ast array of food security situations, disaster types, and livelihood systems; simple enough to be practical in the field and understood by multiple stakeholders; and rigorous enough to meet international standards. Interest and support for the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) as a common classification framework for food security situation analysis continues to gain momentum among a wide variety of organizations, international agencies, national governments, NGO’s, etc. This IPC Technical Manual Version 1.1 is a revised and updated version of the original IPC Manual Version 1 issued in 2006. Version 1.1 introduces priority revisions and clarifies key concepts arising from extensive field testing and interagency technical consultations. IPC users are encouraged to adopt the revisions documented in this revised version. For more details and further updates visit www.ipcinfo.org.
