This manual provides technical guidance on the use of the IPC for FSAU analysts and technical partners. It will hopefully contribute to ongoing global efforts to standardize core elements of humanitarian analysis and response (e. g. , the SMART, Benchmarking, Needs Analysis Framework, Humanitarian Tracking Service, and Sphere Project).
The IPC builds on aspects of many existing classi� cation systems and academic literature. The practical strength ofthe IPC, however, is that it was developed through the everyday realities of conducting food security analysis andlinking it to action within the context of a complex emergency. In addition, IPC development has bene�ted fromtechnical feedback from expert practitioners and high level decision makers through dozens of forums in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the USA. Appendix A lists just some of these meetings. This manual provides technical guidance on the use of the IPC for FSAU analysts and technical partners.
