IPC Global Partners:
Awareness Raising on IPC Tools, Process and Its Use in Decision Making
and IPC Implementation Plan for Cambodia
A Presentation by
IPC Asia Regional Unit’s Mission to Cambodia 10 March 2016
Objectives of the Mission
1. Raise awareness about IPC tools, process and its potential use in decision making.
2. Assess data availability situation and data gaps.
3. Identify next steps to introduce IPC in the country and support the IPC stakeholders to develop IPC implementation plan and Governance Structure.
4. Inform the IPC Stakeholders about GSU’s support plan for the implementation of IPC.
A set of tools and procedures (protocols) for classifying the nature and severity of food insecurity
A process for multiple stakeholders to share information and build technical consensus
Inform strategic decision making that responds to needs in a more coordinated manner
IPC is
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
Understanding evidence with an integrated Analytical Framework
Referencing evidence against international standards
Transparently, methodically & consensually analyzing evidence
Transforming analyses into concise information for action

ACUTE FOOD INSECURITY
Acute and Chronic Scale of IPC
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.

How IPC Analysis Works
Information Support System (ISS) for IPC • Centralized, web-based application to conduct Acute or Chronic IPC
Analysis. • Country-portals are separate and secure.
• Owned/managed by national TWG/ stakeholders
• Translatable into many languages (currently in English, Spanish and French)
• Creates a historical database of analyses per country
• Reduces the time by automating certain IPC functions (e.g. creation of Communication Template)
• Reduces the cost of an IPC analysis since work can be done remotely
• IPC stakeholders can view the country analysis online (if country has granted access rights to the analysis)
Comparability over space and time Multi-sector inputs Action-oriented analysis Consensus building and ownership Accountability
IPC Enables
Answers to six key questions relevant for decision making
IPC Enables…
16
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?
IPC Enables…

• Situation Monitoring through Comparability over space
and Comparability over time
IPC Phases in three countries have the same meaning
- Showing improvements and worsening of situations over time - IPC can identify the drivers of change

Development interventions
focusing on livelihood improvement, risk reduction, resilience, asset replenishment, nutrition interventions and behavior change.
Better response planning with combined results of Chronic & Acute
Potential Use of IPC
IPC analysis has the potential to inform
- National Strategic Development Plan of the government
- Country Investment Plan on Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition
- UNDAF - SUN - Agency specific Country Programmes & Strategic

Background of IPC in Cambodia
IPC Acute analysis was initiated in Cambodia in 2010-2011 under ECHO funding.
It was coordinated by Council for Agricultural and Rural Development (CARD).
An IPC TWG was formed.
One IPC Acute Level 1 Training and one IPC Acute Analysis was conducted.
Later IPC activity could not sustain in the country due to lack of funds.
In recent times CARD attempted to update the last IPC analysis
Standard Steps for IPC Implementation
Country level awareness raising, feasibility assessment and planning of IPC Roll Out & Governance structure
Set up IPC Secretariat, form IPC Technical Working Group & Analysis Team
IPC Level 1 Training including ISS training for the TWG members & Analysis Team
Data Mapping, Training for Data Analysts and data preparation for IPC analysis
IPC Analysis & Real Time Quality Review by IPC Global Support Unit
Endorsement of the analysis results by the key decision makers before and public release
Recommendations for Next Steps: Based on Consultation Meetings and IPC Global Standards
Formulate and endorse IPC Governance structure
Conduct IPC Chronic Analysis in the country • Spatial coverage: Recommendations from the
consultations to follow two phased approach
- 1st Phase: cover 25 Provinces
- 2nd Phase: District level chronic analysis within the vulnerable provinces
• Capacity building on Chronic analysis:
- IPC Chronic Data Analysts’ Training for 10 participants, 4-5 days, June 2016 - Data reanalysis and compilation by the data analysts: June – Oct 2016
- One IPC Chronic Level 1 Training and ISS Training for the Analysis Team, 5-6 days, November 2016
- Chronic Analysis in ISS, 5-6 days, December 2016
Next Steps: Continued…..
Update the Acute analysis by IPC TWG following global standards
• Capacity building on Acute Analysis, July – Aug 2016:
- One IPC Acute Level 1 Training and ISS Training for the IPC TWG, 4 days
- Data preparation and compilation, 1 month
- Update of IPC Acute Analysis in ISS, 5 days
Implementation of steps 5 & 6, validation and endorsement of IPC analysis results and public release, Jan – March 2017
Cross Country Learning Events: Participation of selected members of Cambodia IPC TWG in IPC activities of other countries and vise versa.
Major Data Sources and Data Gaps for IPC Chronic Analysis
Data sources: 1. CDHS 2. Commune Data (MoP) 3. Population Census 4. Agriculture Data (MoA) 5. SAE Poverty and Undernutrition Estimates (WFP) 6. Cambodia Social Economic Survey 2009 (UNDP, WFP)
Data Gaps: - Anthropometric data and its representativeness at
provincial and district level - Food consumption quality data
Proposed IPC Governance Structure for Cambodia
TWG SP & FSN Final endorsement of IPC results, Decision & Planning
FSN Forum - Validation of IPC
Results - Dissemination - Advocacy for
the use of IPC products in decision making
