Hotspot analysis approach:   It is a classification of the area most vulnerable and at risk of food and nutrition insecurity, which relies on different prioritisation factors, and is based on existing food security and nutrition analysis exercises as well as an analysis of aggravating and risk factors. The analysis aims to ensure better targeting in the humanitarian context, enhance coordination of interventions and supply planning, inform stakeholders, decision-makers and donors on the population and areas most in need of humanitarian assistance, and advocate for more funding opportunities for Food Security, Nutrition and other relevant sectors. It usually follows the two cycles of food security and nutrition analyses of the CH/IPC (usually March and November). This prioritisation exercise requires the availability of recent data to better reflect the situation and needs of the populations in the affected areas. The food security and nutrition hotspot analysis provides insights into the situation of the populations in need of food and nutrition assistance and is intended to feed into response planning and prioritisation exercises at the country level.
