Overview
The Acute Food Insecurity (AFI) module presents IPC (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification) data, the global standard for classifying food insecurity severity. IPC phases range from 1 (Minimal) to 5 (Catastrophe/Famine).
IPC Phase Definitions
| Phase | Classification | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Minimal | Households able to meet essential food and non-food needs. |
| 2 | Stressed | Minimal food consumption gaps; some coping strategies used. |
| 3 | Crisis | Food consumption gaps; acute malnutrition above normal. |
| 4 | Emergency | Large food gaps; very high acute malnutrition; excess mortality. |
| 5 | Catastrophe / Famine | Starvation and death; famine conditions. |
