Synopsis (short abstract) Since 2011 the IPC has been used to inform evidence based decision making in Yemen and to provide standards to inform emergency programming, as well as being the primary source for food nutrition security resource mobilization The most recent IPC indicated that alarming levels of food insecurity and acute malnutrition have returned to Yemen and that the risk of famine is looming with unprecedentedly high malnutrition rates According to the latest analysis, persistently high levels of food insecurity with increasing food consumption gaps are evident in most governorates, despite the current levels of humanitarian assistance The principal driver of the food crisis remains the ongoing conflict, which has caused widespread infrastructural damage, population displacement, deteriorating macroeconomic conditions with accelerated inflation, disrupted livelihoods, and falling household incomes, humanitarian access constraints, disruption of public services and fuel crises.

    Improving Evidence-Based Decision-Making on Food Insecurity and Malnutrition at Global, Regional and Country Levels - GCP/GLO/494/UK 2022

    Despite significant progress made in recent decades, millions of people around the world are still affected by food insecurity and acute and chronic malnutrition. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic has exacerbated these issues globally. Early warning information allows for the detection of crisis “hotspots” and leads to anticipatory action, which has been shown to save lives, preserve livelihoods, and increase the cost effectiveness of humanitarian resources. In order to inform evidence based decision making for early intervention when crises hit, a set of standardized tools known as the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) was developed in 2004 to assess the severity and magnitude of food insecurity in a given country or area. This project was formulated within the framework of the IPC Global Strategic Programme (GSP) 2019 2022. It supported: the overall structure of the IPC Global Support Unit (GSU); activities for the technical development, quality assurance and institutionalization of IPC; and the achievement of project specific deliverables for IPC capacity development and quality assurance at field level.

    The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is an innovative multipartnerinitiative for improving food security and nutrition analysis, and decision-making. By using the IPC classification and analytical approach, governments, United Nations (UN) Agencies, Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs), civil society and other relevant actors work together to determine the severity and magnitude of acute and chronic food insecurity, and acute malnutrition situations in a country, according to internationally recognized scientific standards.
