IPC Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Introduction to Integrated Phase Classification Feroz Ahmed National Coordinator- IPC project (FAO) IPC analyst & Facilitator E-mail: [email protected] March 27, 2014 What is the IPC? IPC is a set of protocols to classify the severity and causes of food insecurity and provide actionable knowledge by consolidating wideranging evidence IPC is a process for building technical consensus among key stakeholders 2 Integrated Food Security Analysis •Bringing together information from various sectors: –Market Data –Economic Data –Climatic Data –Agricultural Data –Etc… •And from various sources –National Governments –NGOs –UN Agencies –Technical Agencies –Civil Society 3 Relevance for decision making • Provides core answers to six key questions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. How severe is the situation? Where are the areas that are food insecure? How many people are food insecure? Who are the food insecure? When will people be food insecure? Why are people food insecure? 4 Indicators used in Bangladesh • Food availability (Cereal, vegetable, pulse, fish production) • Food access (Growth centre ratio, hh expenditure) • Food utilization (Wat-San) • Hazard & Vulnerability (severe tidal surge, poverty) • Food Consumption (FCS, DD) • Nutrition (Wasting, Underweight, CED) • Mortality (IMR, U5MR) 5 Zoning • Based on homogeneous food security and 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 6 Local Analyses Partners & Supporting Organizations Food Planning and Monitoring Unit (FPMU), under Ministry of Food, Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE), under Ministry of Agriculture, BangladeshBureau of Statistics (BBS), Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (MoFL), Department of Disaster Management (DDM), Space Research and Remote Sensing Organization (SPRRSO), Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), FAO, WFP, UNICEF, UNOCHA, WHO, ACF, OXFAM, Care, Save The Children, HKI, Dan Church Aid (DCA), World Vision, Islamic Relief Bangladesh (IRB), Muslim Aid, Concern Universal Bangladesh (CUB), SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL, ECHO, Eco7Social Development Organization (ESDO), BRAC, Shushilon Local Analyses Partners & Supporting Organizations Food Planning and Monitoring Unit (FPMU), under Ministry of Food, Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE), under Ministry of Agriculture, Bangladesh Bureau of 8 Statistics (BBS), Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (MoFL), Disaster Management Bureau (DMB) under Ministry of Disaster Management, FAO, WFP, UNICEF, UNOCHA, , ACF, OXFAM, Care, Save The Children, HKI 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) Impact Feedback Food Security Dimensions Availability Production Wild Foods Food Reserves Markets Transport Access Physical Access Financial Access Social Access Stability (at all times) Utilization Food Preferences Food Preparation Feeding Practices Food Storage Water Access Actual/Risk 20 Outcomes Nutrition Rates 10 Outcomes Food Consumption Quantity & Nutritious Quality Mortality Rates Livelihood Change Assets & Strategies Food Security Outcomes Classification of Acute Phase or Chronic Level 9 10
