  3. What is the IPC? A set of protocols to classify the severity and causes of food insecurity and provide actionable knowledge by consolidating wide-ranging evidence A process for building technical consensus among key stakeholders

  4. Integrated Food Security Analysis • Bringing together information fromvarious sectors: • Market Data • Economic Data • Climatic Data • Agricultural Data • Etc… • And from various sources • National Governments • NGOs • UN Agencies • Technical Agencies • Civil Society

  5. Indicators used in Bangladesh • Food availability (Cereal, vegetable, pulse, fish production) • Food access (Growth centre ratio) • Food utilization (Food consumption, DD, Wat-san) • Vulnerability (severe tidal surge) • Livelihood change (HH expenditure) • Nutrition and mortality (CED, Wasting, Underweight) • Coping strategy

  6. Zoning • Based on homogeneous food securityand livelihood characteristics, availability of data and geographical coverage, the whole country was divided into 11 major zones for IPC analysis • Out of these 11 zones, analysis for 2 zones and 13 coastal districts were done

  7. IPC Analytical Framework Food Security Contributing Factors Causal Factors Vulnerability: (Exposure, Susceptibility, and Resilience to specific hazards/events. Ideally drawn from vulnerability baseline analysis) Livelihood Strategies (food and income sources, coping, & expenditures) Livelihood Assets (human, financial, social, physical, & natural) Policies, Institutions, and Processes Non food security-specific contributing factors: (Health/Disease, Water, Sanitation, Social Services, others...) & Acute or Ongoing Hazards/Events (natural, socio-economic, conflict, disease and others) Food Security Outcomes 20 Outcomes Feedback Impact Nutrition Rates Mortality Rates Food Security Dimensions Stability (at all times) Availability Production Wild Foods Food Reserves Markets Transport Access Physical Access Financial Access Social Access Utilization Food Preferences Food Preparation Feeding Practices Food Storage Water Access 10 Outcomes Food Consumption Quantity & Nutritious Quality Livelihood Change Assets & Strategies Actual/Risk Classification of Acute Phase or Chronic Level

  9. Key findings of coastal zone • For almost every district the dietary diversity of women and food consumption of households (FCS) were very poor • Prevalence of chronic energy deficiency among women were very high and nutritional status of children were very poor • Food availability was not a major limiting factor for most of the districts but accesses to food posed a challenge

  10. Key findings of coastal zone (cont.) • Most of the coastal districts are severely prone to cyclone, tidal surge and vulnerable to climate change • Saline water intrusion was a common problem for most of the districts • Household expenditure was reduced for almost every district. • Access to improved source of latrine was low for most of the districts

  11. Recommendations • A longer term development intervention is called for – for example disaster risk reduction approach • Nutrition education is needed • Population per growth centre (e.g., market) ratio need to be increased for better trade • Access to improved source of latrine need to be increased • Social safety net programs can help improve the situation

  12. Next Step-Way forward • Dissemination of IPC Acute Analysis in various channel (FSC, HCTT, Nutrition, FAO-NFPCSP); • IPC Chronic Analysis training/Workshop: 3-8 November, 2013 at Cox’s Bazarr • Training of Trainer (ToT) • Preparation and Finalization of IPC Acute analysis report by September 2013 • Finalization of IPC Next Phase (2013) work plan
