The IPC FIPE Acute Food Insecurity Population Estimates domain provides Food Insecure Population Estimates (FIPE) for specified geographic locations. It is used to identify famine and determine the severity of food insecurity and nutrition crises. This data is compatible with the Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) system.
The IPC FIPE Acute Food Insecurity Population Estimates domain is broken into three two sections:

You can filter the available data series using one or more of the following criteria:
...
Period: Filters by the collection/reporting period.
Start date: Returns all data series starting on or before this date.
End date: Returns all data series ending on or after this date.

Filter Data
The Acute Food Insecurity Population Estimates domain includes the following options for filtering data:
Start date and End date:Filters data series by the period dates of all data points within the series. All data series with at least one data point that has a period date inside the date range will be displayed.
2. Data Selection

Once you have applied your search terms and filters, you will be presented with a list of all available data series that match your criteria. A data series is a collection of related data points from a single data source that are viewable as a single row within a table of data. They represent the change over time of a specific indicator. Data series are presented in table format where each row represents a single data series. The IPC FIPE domain data selection table includes the following columns:
In addition to selecting data series, you can interact with the data selection table in the following ways:

The Table tab for the IPC FIPE domain includes the following metadata:
...
data_source_organization: The name or unique numeric id of the organization that provided the data source document.
...
Geographic area: Filters by location of the FIPE data. This filter aggregates items into a multi-level lists (e.g., admin 1 units are aggregated into countries, which are aggregated into regions). Selecting the higher-level item in the list will automatically select all the lower-level items in the list.
...
Phase: Filers by IPC phase.
...
Scenario: Filters by scenario (i.e., Current situation, Most likely in 6 months, or Most likely).
Note: The International category in this filter contains countries not currently monitored by FEWS NET.

description:
The Annual Peak Food Assistance Needs includes projections in each monitored Country for the total population that would likely face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse acute food insecurity in the absence of any emergency food assistance, during its projected period of highest need, which typically occurs during a country's lean season.
The Food Assistance Outlook Brief summarizes FEWS NET's projection of the population in need of urgent food assistance and the severity of anticipated acute food insecurity (the highest IPC area-level classification) in each FEWS NET-monitored country seven months into the future.
Scenario: There are two scenario options available:
Best Available: Shows the current situation for all periods. Only the most recent near and medium term projections will be included.
All: Shows all scenarios for all periods, including near and medium term projections from past periods.
