1. IPC Engaging Stakeholders and Key Decision Makers From Global Perspectives to Country Implementation IPC Global Partners: With the support of:

2. What IPC is and What it is Not IPC is:  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 IPC is:  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 IPC is not:  A methodology to measure food insecurity – IPC brings together different methodologies  A tool for data collection – but it can inform data collection and identify gaps  An information system – but an input to the system  Response analysis – but it is the starting point and can inform response analysis IPC is not:  A methodology to measure food insecurity – IPC brings together different methodologies  A tool for data collection – but it can inform data collection and identify gaps  An information system – but an input to the system  Response analysis – but it is the starting point and can inform response analysis

3. ACUTE FOOD INSECURITY Acute and Chronic IPC Classification All food insecurity found at a specific point in time of a severity that threatens lives and/or livelihoods regardless of the causes, context or duration. To inform short term strategic objectives (food/cash aid, asset redistribution, basic needs support, saving lives etc.) To inform medium and long term strategic objectives (structural development, agricultural and rural development policies, strengthen livelihood strategies and adaptive capacity, etc.) CHRONIC FOOD INSECURITY Persistent food insecurity due to structural causes.

4. Relevance of the IPC Analysis for FSN Decision Making The IPC Analysis answers to six core key questions on Acute and Chronic Food Insecurity: 1.How severe is the food security situation? 2.Where are the areas that are food insecure? 3.How many people are food insecure? 4.Who are the food insecure? 5.When will people be food insecure? 6.Why are people food insecure? 4

6. IPC Acute and Chronic Situation Analysis IPC and the FSN Policy Process

7.  Why? Decision Makers have new information needs Need information to inform resilience and programming to break the cycle of food insecurity Need both information to inform Short-Term Emergency Programming that is linked to Medium to Longer Programming & Policy Need evidence and information to inform integrated food and nutrition security programming Multi-Sector and multi-dimensional response is needed to meet the challenges of food insecurity Focus on both Acute and Chronic Food Insecurity, including four dimensions of food insecurity (availability, access, utilization, stability)  Successful IPC Analysis: One pilot of IPC Acute Analysis (2012); Two IPC Acute analysis (2013, 2014); Tested IPC Chronic tool (2012) ;  MVAC Presented IPC Analysis (2013) Results: at SADC Annual Dissemination Meeting and with PS of MoFEPD; NEW Information Needs of Decision Makers

8. IPC Overall Objective and focus areas IPC Four Outcomes: 1.Institutionalization of IPC within Global, Regional and National structures, frameworks and strategiess. 2.Professionalized IPC food security analysis training & capacity. 3.High quality IPC Acute and Chronic Food Insecurity products. 4.Improved access to IPC analysis for use in emergency and development policy and programming. 8 Decision maker’s at the global, regional and national level use the IPC for decision making and this is providing the evidence and standards for better decisions that improve emergency and development policy and programming

9. IPC Global Coverage and Figures 40 Countries engaged in IPC Activities: in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Near East 20 countries leading IPC analysis in Africa, Asia and Near East Support to CH in 16 Countries in West Africa More than 1,600 people trained in IPC since 2012 (32% women)

10. How Does IPC Engage Stakeholders and Decision Makers?

11. Global Partners: Strategic Direction, Support Implement & Use IPC Global Partners: Strategic Direction, Support Implement & Use IPC IPC Global Steering Committee Partners: IPC Engages Partners as Stakeholders & Decision Makers IPC Engages Partners as Stakeholders & Decision Makers at the Global, Regional and Country Level Leading Technical Agencies & Experts guide IPC tool development Leading Technical Agencies & Experts guide IPC tool development Example: Philippines Country IPC Partners: rent Resource Partners: New partners in technical development: Benefited from Other Partner Support:

14. IPC Multi-stakeholder Process at Country Level 1.At country level, IPC aims at being used in decision making processes and thus informing the formulation of FSN-related policies and strategies; 2.Various and relevant stakeholders are engaged in all IPC activities and processes – institutionalization; technical development; implementation of analysis; use of IPC findings. 3.IPC analysis are planned and conducted to support the gov’t and stakeholder policies/strategies formulation; 4.IPC is demand driven by Countries; IPC aims to be government owned and led multi-partner processes. 14

19. FSN Forum & IPC Synergies 1.Support IPC technical development multi- experts/stakeholders discussions 2.Support Lesson Leaning exercises on IPC implementation and/or specific processes 3.Help with the regional/country dissemination of the IPC analysis and thus the use of the IPC findings to inform FSN policy and programming. 19
