- It primarily tracks trends in household food consumption.
- This is only one dimension of acute food insecurity, household food consumption can provide an indication of how overall trends are likely to shift.
- Acute hunger is measured by key indicators such as household food consumption, livelihoods, child nutritional status, mortality, access to clean water and other contextual factors.
- It divides countries into various tiers of risk based on: the prevalence of insufficient food consumption and the prevalence of households utilizing crisis or above crisis-level food-based coping strategies, and the change in these prevalences from 90 days till the present.
- Country classifications are derived from tiers defined at the sub-national level.
