ProjectIntegrated Food and Nutrition Security Phase Classification (IPC): Provision of Reliable IPC Analysis for Evidence-Based Information for Decision-Makers to Better Respond to Food Crises and Acute Malnutrition - TCP/YEM/3703 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Since 2011 the IPC has been used to inform evidence based decision making in Yemen and to provide standards to inform emergency programming, as well as being the primary source for food nutrition security resource mobilization The most recent IPC indicated that alarming levels of food insecurity and acute malnutrition have returned to Yemen and that the risk of famine is looming with unprecedentedly high malnutrition rates According to the latest analysis, persistently high levels of food insecurity with increasing food consumption gaps are evident in most governorates, despite the current levels of humanitarian assistance The principal driver of the food crisis remains the ongoing conflict, which has caused widespread infrastructural damage, population displacement, deteriorating macroeconomic conditions with accelerated inflation, disrupted livelihoods, and falling household incomes, humanitarian access constraints, disruption of public services and fuel crises. -
ProjectImproving Evidence-Based Decision-Making on Food Insecurity and Malnutrition at Global, Regional and Country Levels - GCP/GLO/494/UK 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Despite significant progress made in recent decades, millions of people around the world are still affected by food insecurity and acute and chronic malnutrition. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic has exacerbated these issues globally. Early warning information allows for the detection of crisis “hotspots” and leads to anticipatory action, which has been shown to save lives, preserve livelihoods, and increase the cost effectiveness of humanitarian resources. In order to inform evidence based decision making for early intervention when crises hit, a set of standardized tools known as the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) was developed in 2004 to assess the severity and magnitude of food insecurity in a given country or area. This project was formulated within the framework of the IPC Global Strategic Programme (GSP) 2019 2022. It supported: the overall structure of the IPC Global Support Unit (GSU); activities for the technical development, quality assurance and institutionalization of IPC; and the achievement of project specific deliverables for IPC capacity development and quality assurance at field level. -
ProjectStrengthening of Tanzania Food and Nutrition Security Information System for Quality, Timely and Reliable Data - TCP/URT/3705 2021

No results found.Relevant, reliable, timely, clear and concise information on current and projected FNS conditions is fundamental when making effective policy and strategic decisions, and critical in guiding mitigation measures to address food and nutrition insecurity. Such information enables policy development and strategic recommendations that link to appropriate responses aimed at building resilience and disaster risk reduction, saving lives and livelihoods, and reducing food deficit and acute malnutrition. To this end, in collaboration with the United Nations and other stakeholders, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania formulated strategies to strengthen the institutional capacities of central government ministries and LGAs in 2007, with the aim of monitoring and managing an FNS Information System for better policy and strategic response to food and nutrition insecurity in the country. This led to the formulation of the Tanzanian FNS Analysis System, known in Swahili as Mfumo wa Uchambuzi wa Uhakika wa Chakula na Lishe (MUCHALI). The MUCHALI framework draws together information from multiple stakeholders and sectors, including government, national and international agencies, higher learning institutions, regional administrations and LGAs, as well as development partners, civil society organizations and the private sector. The main aim of the system is to conduct integrated analysis and reporting on the situation of FNS, and to provide strategic recommendations on interventions for decision-makers and stakeholders. FNS analysis has been conducted for many years in the country. However, existing systems for analysing food security had shortcomings that needed to be addressed to ensure sustainable FNS for all Tanzanians. Challenges included inadequate capacity at LGA level for food security analysis, a lack of explicit linkages between FNS analysis and decision-making, fragmented analytical efforts within national and international agencies, and poor linkages between food and nutrition security analyses. The Government further recognized the need to generate timely and quality data that are evidence-based not only at national level but, most importantly, at subnational level in order to enable a timely response to national needs at various levels. FAO was therefore requested to provide technical assistance to strengthen MUCHALI with regard to the Mainland and the Zanzibar Food Security and Nutrition Information and Early Warning System (ZFSNIEWS).
