An independent review of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) process in Somalia was launched in June 2023, in response to concerns raised by five donor agencies funding the IPC. The overall aim of the review is to improve the effectiveness of the IPC as the key source of food security information and analysis in Somalia for humanitarian decision-making. This includes recognising and respecting the multi-stakeholder, consensus-building essence of the IPC, and its global ‘gold standard’ status.
