Our work
We work to improve Food Security and Agricultural monitoring in Eastern Africa. We are committed to support countries and organisations to make better decisions in food security, nutrition and resilience. We coordinate the meetings of the Food Security and Nutrition Working Group, a network of over 80 organizations working in the region to monitor food security and send monthly food security updates. ICPAC hosts the IGAD Food Security, Nutrition and Resilience Analysis Hub, IFRAH, which integrates the Food Security and Nutrition Working Group (FSNWG), the Resilience Analysis Unit (RAU) and the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).

We develop and disseminate a quarterly Crop Monitor and key Agro-meteorological information, warnings, alerts, scenarios, and advisories
Climate Smart Agriculture
