  1. IPC Overview, Value-Added, and Future Vision

  2. Outline of the presentation I. Overview of the IPC (what it is, what it is not) II. The IPC in practice (application, use & usefulness) III. Where to find IPC information (contacts, resources)

  3. Common Challenges for Action-Oriented Food Security Analysis • Unreliable and irregular data • Reconciling various methods • Comparability over space and time • Building technical consensus • Communicating complex information for action • Different agencies have different methods and approaches for addressing these challenges....

  4. We need a ‘common currency’ for describing the nature and severity of food security situations. We need minimum common standards for conducting food security analysis

  5. What the IPC is….. • A set of Protocols for classifying the nature and severity of food security situations • The IPC summarizes Situation Analysis… • …a distinct stage in the ‘analysis-response continuum’. • A process involving multiple actors in making decisions in a consensual manner.

  6. The IPC 6 Core Functions • Building Technical Consensus • Integrated Analysis • Linking to Common Severity Scale • Diagnosing Causes and Opportunities • Core Communication • Quality Assurance

  7. The IPC Analytical Approach • Bring together any and all relevant information (evidence) and evaluate the convergence of evidence against a common severity scale. • The IPC is an ‘open system’, meaning any methodologies or indicators are accommodated in the analysis.

  8. Common Severity Scale

  9. Comparability Over Space

  10. And what the IPC is not… • A method – it draws from multiple methods • A data collection tool – it may inform data collection and highlight information gaps • An information system - it is a complementary ‘add-on’ • Response analysis—this is the next step, which is based on sound situation analysis

  11. Value Added of IPC • Links complex information to action • Common language • Comparability over space and time • Transparency & accountability • Basis for response analysis • Technical Consensus

  12. Key Revisions for Version 2.0 • Introducing tools for analyzing Chronic Food Insecurity • Introducing innovative Analytical Framework • Improved linkages with response • others....

  13. IPC Governance Structure • IPC Global Steering Committee includes: CARE, EC JRC, FAO, FEWSNET, Oxfam, SCF, and WFP • The Steering Committee oversees the work of the IPC Global Support Unit, hosted at FAO headquarters, but with inter agency staff.

  14. Future Vision • Release of IPC Version 2.0 • On-line information management system • Expansion of the Steering Committee • Deepen institutional commitments • Country/Region expansion • Increase the breadth and depth of capacity building • Develop certification criteria and link to academia

  15. IPC Implementation to Date

  16. Conclusion: IPC Promotes Working Together • National and Sub-national levels • Govt-led multi-sectoral, inter-agency Technical Working Groups • Regional level • Govt-led multi-sectoral, inter-agency IPC support groups • Global level • Inter-agency Steering Committee • Linkages to other initiatives and structures • International standards
