About the IPC Blog

The IPC Blog is part of the IPC global initiative that fosters exchange among key food security experts involved or interested in the IPC as well as discussions related to improved food security analysis.

Our goal is to encourage an open, productive discussion and sharing experiences about a range of topics related to food security analysis and how it can be improved. And we're going to try and do our best to provide an IPC perspective that doesn't sound like it's written in "legalese."

About the Authors and Commenters

Authors may vary according to the topic of the blog posts; you’ll see the name of the IPC Technical Experts frequently on the blog. Occasionally, you will see other contributors as well, because we want to provide content that shows a variety of perspectives.

The IPC blog is completely public, and can be read by anyone on the internet ; everybody can comment blog posts and share opinions. But, be sure to read our Comments Policy below to be familiar with the rules.

Rachele Santini, our blog administrator and editor, works in IPC communication. She is responsible for maintaining the IPC Blog.
