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

3

• 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

Integrated Food Security Analysis

4

Relevance for decision making

• Provides core answers to six key questions:
• 1. How severe is the 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?

As pushing noodles tangles the dish, Pushing more information to decision makers can create confusion and inefficiency

The IPC is a demand driven approach The IPC is a demand driven approach

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)

6

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

Food Security Dimensions

Stability (at all times)

Causal Factors Acute or Ongoing Hazards/Events

(natural, socio-economic, conflict, disease and others)

&

Non food security-specific contributing factors:

(Health/Disease, Water, Sanitation, Social Services, others...)

Food Consumption

Quantity & Nutritious Quality

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

Key findings of coastal zone

• Dietary pattern of women and Food consumption

pattern of households are very poor for most of the districts

• Prevalence of chronic energy deficiency among

women were very high and nutritional status of children were very poor

• Volatile agricultural wage rates and high price of

non-rice nutritious food items affected severely the food consumption of the low income groups specially the day laborers in the lean season.

11

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, water logging ware commonly

faced problem for most of the dist.

• Household expenditure was lower for almost every

coastal district compared to national.

• Access to improved source of latrine was low for

most of the districts

12

Recommendations??

• A longer term development intervention is called for

– for example disaster risk reduction approach

• Nutrition education is needed –Nutrition Cluster
• Population per growth centre (e.g., market) ratio

need to be increased for better trade –medium or longer term intervention

• Access to improved source of latrine need to be

increased –WASH cluster

• Social safety net programs – short term intervention

13

Next Step-Way forward

• Dissemination of IPC Acute Analysis in various

channel (FSC, HCTT, NC, FAO-NFPCSP);

• IPC Chronic Analysis training/Workshop: 3-7

November, 2013 at Dhaka

• Training of Trainer (ToT) for 8 Analysts in Bangkok,

Thailand

• Finalization and dissemination of IPC Acute analysis

report- printed copy

• Finalization of IPC Next Phase (2013) work plan

THANK YOU

Comparison with last analysis

• Food consumption patterns and women’s nutritional

status has declined compared to last year’s acute analysis which worsened the phase of Khulna from phase 2 to 3.

• Food consumption pattern of both women and

households have improved slightly in Barisal compared to last year but nutritional situation of both women and children have worsened.
