  1. Prototype IPC Nutrition Phase Classification for Acute Situations Why we need it & the development process GNC Meeting, Rome 17 Sept. 2014

  2. Presentation Outline • Prototype IPC Nutrition Phase Classification for Acute Situations • What is IPC? • Why is a nutrition classification needed? • IPC Nutrition Classification - technical development process

  3. What is IPC?

  4. THE IPC IS….. • A set of tools and procedures (protocols) for classifying the nature and severity of food security situations • A process for multiple stakeholders to share information and build technical consensus.

  5. IPC FOUR CORE FUNCTIONS • Building Technical Consensus • Classifying Severity and Driving Factors • Communicating for Action • Quality Assurance • EACH HAS A SET OF SUPPORTING TOOLS and PROCEDURES

  6. The 4 Functions of IPC 2. Classifying Severity & Driving Factors 3. Communication for Action 4. Quality Assurance 1. Building Consensus Functions SELF ASS.

  7. Why is nutrition classification needed?

  8. Why an IPC Nutrition phase classification for Acute Situations - Background IPC Acute Food Security Phase Classification Proven Applicability and Relevance - Globally • Asia & Near East • Africa • Central America & Caribbean • North Africa & Near East • Central Asia

  9. Why do we need an IPC Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations? Two Situations We Observe: • Low severity of acute Food Insecurity and High levels of acute Malnutrition • Why? Casual factors are not food security related • A public health issue, related to social and care environment and access to health services and health care environment

  10. Example: FSNAU Nutrition & Food Security Situation in Somalia

  11. Why do we need Both Classifications? • High severity of acute Food Insecurity and Low levels of acute Malnutrition Why? 2 possible reasons • Lag effect • Body Tissue and muscle loss related to underlying causes of food insecurity – depends on severity of food inadequacy • Can take time before it manifests, some cases ‘’late indicator’’

  12. Why do we need Both Classifications? • Mitigating Factors • Coping strategies in household, e.g. prioritize the children, until deplete their coping strategies. • Accessible and Effective Public Health Services, that mitigate effects of acute malnutrition, though food insecurity still problem • IF there are social protection programme, strong coping capacity: nutrition indicators - lag effect or no manifestation

  13. How is Nutrition Currently • Integrated in IPC?

  14. Identified Gap & Country Requests • To date - IPC focused on the analysis and classification of food security situations and outcomes • Nutrition is integrated within the IPC FS analysis, • Not a full analysis of the Nutrition situation and outcomes • Nutrition only in relation to Food Security • Malnutrition caused by non-food security are not included, i.e. inadequate caring practices and disease

  15. UNICEF’s Conceptual Framework on the Causes of Malnutrition Core outcomes Malnutrition & Death Immediate Causes Inadequate Food Intake Disease Access to Health Care & the Health Environment Household Food Security Social and Care Environment UnderlyingCauses Basic Causes National Policies Formal and Informal Structure Context and Potential Resources

  16. How is IPC FS linked with the Nutrition Classification? IPC Acute Food Security informsthe Analysis of Household Food Security Malnutrition & Death Inadequate Food Intake Household Food Security

  17. What is needed in IPC?

  18. What is needed to complement the IPC Acute Food Insecurity Phase Classification? Malnutrition & Death • The Prototype IPC Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations • elaborates and measures the non-food factors and drivers of malnutrition Disease Social and Care Environment Access to Health Care & the Health Environment

  19. UNICEF’s Conceptual Framework on the Causes of Malnutrition IPC Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations Malnutrition & Death Inadequate Food Intake Disease Access to Health Care & the Health Environment Household Food Security Social and Care Environment IPC Acute Food Security Classification

  20. Prototype IPC Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations • IPC Acute Food Security Classification – provides the full analysis of acute food security, and food security factor analysis for the IPC Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations • IPC Nutrition Phase Classification for Acute Situations – provides the full analysis of acute malnutrition outcomes, nonfood factors and food factor analysis. Where food factors analysis is provided by the IPC Acute Food Security (Inter-locking) • Complementary Inter-linking Phase Classifications • IPC Acute Food Security Phase Classification & IPC Nutrition Phase Classification for Acute Situations are to be complementary & inter-locking • Together provide the full analysis of acute food and nutrition security situation

  21. Development Process: • Nutrition Phase Classification for Acute Situations

  22. IPC Global Steering Committee Endorsement • In 2013 - the IPC Global Steering Committee endorsed resolution to develop IPC Nutrition Phase Classification for Acute Situations • The SC endorsed the use of Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) Acute Nutrition Classification Tool as a base • Developed & Implemented along side the IPC Food Security Phase Classification, since 2007 in Somalia • Formation of IPC Nutrition Working Groupof the IPC Global Technical Advisory Group (TAG) • to lead technical development & piloting • Technical Expertsfrom both the global food security and nutrition community

  23. Prototype IPC Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations • Based on the Acute Nutrition Classification Tool , an IPC Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations prototype has been developed. • Prototype is the refined version of the FSNAU Nutrition Classification Tool • Analytical Framework • IPC Analytical Framework • UNICEF & Lancet Conceptual Framework • Reference Tables for Nutrition Classification • Mapping Protocol

  24. Prototype IPC Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations • Prototype IPC Nutrition Phase Classification for Acute Situations • Focused on analysis of Acute Malnutrition • Classification of the Severity of Acute Malnutrition & identification of contributoryfactors • Pilot test and revise by the global IPC NWG for universal applicability

  25. Prototype IPC Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations • Share same IPC Protocols and Four Core Functions • Building Technical Consensus • Classifying Severity and Contributory Factors • Communicating for Action • Quality Assurance

  26. IPC Prototype Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations Reference Table – Outcome Indicators

  27. IPC Prototype Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations Reference Table – Contributory Factors (1/3)

  28. IPC Prototype Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations Reference Table – Contributory Factors (2/3)

  29. IPC Prototype Nutrition Classification for Acute Situations Reference Table – Contributory Factors (3/3)

  30. Communication for action

  31. Timeline & Work Plan • Two Year - Piloting and development period (2014-2015) • 2014-15 development of IPC Prototype based on FSNAU tool, Pilot and Refine/Revise • 2016 Expected Roll-out of V.1.0 IPC Nutrition Classification • Process – Technical Consultations & Deliberations combined with Country Pilots & Learning for Refinement of tool • 2014 Timeline & Work Plan • Launch of IPC Global Nutrition Working Group, March 25, 2014 • First IPC NWG Meeting: June 23-25 • Development of Tools and First Round of Pilots: July – Aug 2014 (Kenya and South Sudan) • Second IPC NWG Meeting: Sept 2014 • Second Round of Pilots: Oct – Nov 2014 (Bangladesh, Haiti, and Niger) • Third IPC NWG Meeting and planning for 2015, Dec 2014
