What is Food Security?
New Millennium
.
2001, UN FAO
“Food security is a situation that exists when all people, at all
times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient,
safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food
preferences for an active and healthy life.”
The Multi-dimensional Nature of FS
Four main dimensions of food security:
1. Physical AVAILABILITY of food
2. Economic, social and physical ACCESS to food
3. Food physical UTILIZATION
4. STABILITY of the other 3 dimensions over time
For food security objectives to be realized, all four
dimensions must be fulfilled simultaneously.
Main Problems in Food Security Analysis
and Classification
Each doing our own thing….
Each one saying different things…
Too many voices….
Conflicting analyses……
Main Problems…
Lack of clarity
No common definitions for:
• food security,
• classifying severity of food insecurity situations and related
implications for action
• No agreement on sources of funding, scale, planning
timeframe and role
• High risk of personal, government, agency, and
donor biases
This is well recognized and
appreciated by analysts, donors,
governments, implementing
agencies, academics and the media
What IPC is
•
A set of protocols to classify the severity of food insecurity and
provide actionable knowledge for decision support
•
Situation analysis => How Severe-Who-How many-Where-Why ?
•
Meta-analysis
•
An approach applicable in any context
and What it brings…
 Integrated FS analytical framework
 A common approach to classify food security
 Technical consensus built on transparent evidence-based analysis
 Increased relevance to strategic decision making and stronger
linkages between information and integrated action
The IPC consolidates wideranging evidence on foodinsecure people to provide core
answers to :
How severe is the situation?
Where are areas that are foodinsecure?
How many people are foodinsecure?
Who are the food-insecure
people (socio-economic
characteristics)?
Why are the people foodinsecure?
IPC links complex food security information to action.
How does IPC work?
Four functions
1. Building Technical Consensus
Multi sectoral experts conduct IPC analysis in a
neutral, evidence-based, and consensus building
manner, then obtain endorsement by key stakeholders
2. Classifying severity and causes
Complex information on severity and causes are
classified into meaningful categories for decision
support using tools that require rigor
Four functions
3. Communicating for actions
Core aspects of situation analysis are communicated
in a timely, consistent, accessible, and effective manner
to all stakeholders
4. Assuring quality
Experts ensure technical rigor and neutrality of
analysis by agreeing to different levels of evaluation
(self, peer, public)

IPC achievements 2012
 Production of 2 maps / brief reports based on consensual
analyses
 Establishment of the Afghanistan Food Security Technical Team
(AFSTT) consisting of 25 member agencies (+40 individuals)
 AFSTT capacities built through dedicated training events (10
days) and workshops (15 days) and lessons learnt exercise (1 day)
 Awareness raising of food security stakeholders through regular
updates at FSAC national meetings and 3 presentations at
regional cluster coordination meetings (FSAC, Nutrition)
 IPC products well integrated to FSAC response plan
First IPC Analysis in Afghanistan
• Area-based Acute food security situation Analysis
• Current Situation
• Validity: August – End September 2012
• Rural population
• Classification was done based on evidence, assessments reports and IPC
Reference Tables
• Overall Confidence Level of the analysis was 1
• 16 provinces: covering all regions of Afghanistan
• General Rule: 20%
First IPC Analysis Workshop – August 2012
Second IPC Analysis Workshop
•
FSAC request to AFSTT
•
Area-based analysis was conducted.
•
16 provinces were updated from Last IPC Analysis workshop.
•
Additionally 10 provinces were added to the Analysis based on
EFSLA.
•
Peer Review process was done on the coming day of workshop.
•
Limiting Factors of food insecurity were identified for each
classification to help Response Analysis WG.
•
Fed into CHAP 2013 through Response Analysis WG
Second IPC Analysis Workshop – October 2012
