What is the IPC?
• The IPC is a set of tools and procedures to classify the nature and severity of food insecurity for decision support.
• The IPC classifies areas with Acute Food Insecurity into five Phases. Each of these Phases has different implications for response objectives.
• The IPC classifies the severity of the situation for two time periods: the current situation and for a future projection. The future projection provides an early warning statement for proactive decision making.

IPC allows…
• A common approach to classify food security• Integrated food security analysis• Technical consensus based on transparent evidence-based
analysis• Increased relevance to strategic decision making
Enabling interventions to be more needs-based, strategic, timely and integrated

What is the IPC?• The purpose of the IPC is to consolidate complex analysis of food security situations for
evidence-based decision support.
• The IPC aims for optimal decision support, recognizing in reality there will be less than ideal data and evidence.
• Thus, the approach of the IPC is to make the best use of what evidence is available, but to do so in a rigorous and transparent manner.
• The IPC is a set of tools and procedures to classify the nature and severity of food insecurity for decision support.
• The IPC classifies areas with Acute Food Insecurity into five Phases: Minimal, Stressed, Crisis, Emergency, and Famine. Each of these Phases has different implications for response objectives.
• The IPC classifies the severity of the situation for two time periods: the current situation and for a future projection. The future projection provides an early warning statement for proactive decision making.

The Four Functions of IPC1. Building Technical ConsensusPurpose: To enable technical consensus from multi sectoral experts and
endorsement by key stakeholders.Tools: Technical Working Group Composition Matrix2. Classifying severity & causesPurpose: To classify complex information on severity and causes into meaningful
categories for decision support.Tools: IPC Analytical Framework, Acute Reference Tables, Chronic Reference Table,
Analysis Worksheets3. Communicating for actionPurpose: To communicate core aspects of situation analysis in a consistent,
accessible, and effective manner.Tools: IPC Communication Template4. Quality Assurance
Purpose: To ensure technical rigor and neutrality of analysis.Tools: Technical Working Group Self Assessment Tool, Peer Review Assessment Tool

IPC in Pakistan
• Integrated Food Security Phase Classification in Pakistan is a project funded by the ECHO, jointly implemented by FAO and WFP under the auspices of the National Ministry for Food Security and Research.

IPC Phase IIMay 2013 – April 2014
Title: • Food Security and Livelihoods analysis and response frameworks in PakistanObjective:
The project is to introduce IPC for standardized Food Classification for Advocacy, Planning and Response in Food Security and Nutrition interventions at National and Regional Level.
• Improve decision-making mainly through analysis and coordination with in the food security sector
Result:• In-country capacity on IPC consolidated, enhanced and institutionalized as a standard
tool for integrated food security analysisPlan:• Technical Working groups• Capacity Building• Awareness raising• Research/Analysis

IPC Training and Analysis Workshop
Objectives
• To strengthen evidence based food security coordination and analysis for improved programming.
• IPC is embedded within the disaster monitoring/response planning mechanism of GOP and GOP assumes ownership of the IPC process before project completion.
• In-country capacity on IPC consolidated, enhanced and institutionalized as a standard tool for integrated food security analysis
Structure
• Presentations• Discussion• Group Work• Data analysis• Work sheets

Intended Output• Improved IPC networks through the formation of Provincial level
technical working group under ownership of gov't• A certified pool of at least 60 food security experts are fully trained in
IPC level 1.0 and are able to conduct further IPC trainings and analysis independently
• Data review/analysis and production of IPC Acute Classification products (map & report) at provincial level, IPC maps will be used as a decision-making tool by the members of the Food Security Cluster for their preparedness and response planning.
• Enhanced awareness on significance of updating consistent, reliable and quality data on IPC indicators for IPC analysis
• At least 10% of active members will use the IPC product for response planning.
