The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is a common global scale for classifying the severity and magnitude of food insecurity and malnutrition. It is the result of a partnership of various organizations at the global, regional, and country levels dedicated to developing and maintaining the highest possible quality in food security and nutrition analysis. Increasingly, the IPC is the international standard for classifying food insecurity and malnutrition. The IPC is a โbig pictureโ classification focusing on providing information that is consistently required by stakeholders around the world for strategic decision-making. Nuanced information may also be needed to inform particular decisions or answer certain questions. The IPC provides the essential information needed in a wide range of contexts in consistent, comparable and accountable ways.
The IPC global partnership is comprised of 15 organizations and inter-governmental institutions including Action Against Hunger (AAH), CARE International, Comitรฉ Permanent Inter-Etats de Lutte Contre la Sรฉcheresse au Sahel (Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel) (CILSS), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), the Global Food Security Cluster, the Global Nutrition Cluster, Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, Oxford Committee for Famine Relief (Oxfam), Southern African Development Community (SADC), Save the Children, Sistema de la Integraciรณn Centroamericana (Central American Integration System) (SICA), World Food Programme (WFP) and United Nations Childrenโs Fund (UNICEF).

The IPC Acute Food Insecurity (IPC AFI) classification provides strategically relevant information to decision makers that focuses on short-term objectives to prevent, mitigate or decrease severe food insecurity that threatens lives or livelihoods. This data has been produced by the National IPC Technical Working Groups for IPC population estimates since 2017. All national population figures are based on official country population estimates. IPC estimates are those published in country IPC reports.

The table above shows the annual burden of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM), Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM), and
Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) for each domain. The total number of children in all areas analysed is 2,128,925. The 2021
burden was determined by Round 9 NFSS (Nutrition and Food Security Surveillance) using combined Severe, Moderate, and
Global Acute Malnutrition (cSAM, cMAM, and cGAM) prevalence. More than 1.1 million cases of acute malnutrition requiring
urgent treatment are expected in 2021. The top five domains with the highest numbers of cases of acute malnutrition are
namely, Southern Yobe, MMC & Jere, Southern Adamawa, Northern Adamawa, Central Yobe. Together, these five domains
account for over two thirds of all cases in the region. In terms of severity based on the prevalence of global acute malnutrition,
the following four zones are worst affected: Central Yobe, Northern Yobe, Northern Borno, East Borno. The combined acute
malnutrition prevalence is at or above 15% in these four zones.
Acute Malnutrition: January - December 2021
