Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC)
An international system for classifying levels of food insecurity. Used in Lebanon to measure how many people face acute hunger and to guide aid.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification is a partnership of UN agencies and humanitarian organizations that sets common standards for measuring food insecurity. It classifies situations into phases ranging from crisis to emergency to famine. In Lebanon, its analyses are used to estimate how many people need food assistance, especially amid economic crises and conflict.
