It was last updated on November 14, 2013. The classification used is IPC V2.0 Compatible, aimed to address acute food insecurity.

- xx201304_ML2 Most likely food security outcome for January-March 2014
Within the shapefiles, the food security outlook is contained in a field named as ML1 or ML2 according to the outlook period. The code itself is the IPC phase. Two additional codes are used:
