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 wide-ranging evidence IPC is a process for building technical consensus among key stakeholders
Integrated Food Security Analysis • Bringing together information fromvarious sectors: • Market Data • Economic Data • Climatic Data • Agricultural Data • Etc… • And from various sources • National Governments • NGOs • UN Agencies • Technical Agencies • Civil Society
Relevance for decision making • Provides core answers to six key questions: • 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?
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)
Zoning • Based on homogeneous food securityand 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

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) Food Security Outcomes 20 Outcomes Feedback Impact Nutrition Rates Mortality Rates Food Security Dimensions Stability (at all times) Availability Production Wild Foods Food Reserves Markets Transport Access Physical Access Financial Access Social Access Utilization Food Preferences Food Preparation Feeding Practices Food Storage Water Access 10 Outcomes Food Consumption Quantity & Nutritious Quality Livelihood Change Assets & Strategies Actual/Risk Classification of Acute Phase or Chronic Level
