The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, visualized by MapAction with support from the ASAL Humanitarian Network (AHN) and the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), projects that 5.4 million people—equivalent to 32 percent of the population analyzed—will experience high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above) between March and June 2023.

The map depicts spatial variation across Kenya’s Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs), showing counties under Crisis (Phase 3) and Emergency (Phase 4) conditions, particularly in Turkana, Marsabit, Mandera, Wajir, Garissa, and Isiolo. These findings emphasize the severity of drought-induced vulnerability across the northern and eastern counties.

The IPC data provides a critical evidence base for humanitarian targeting and cash response coordination, informing AHN and partners’ ongoing efforts to strengthen resilience and food security interventions across Kenya’s ASAL region.
