In 2007, WFP conducted pilot exercises of the IPC in Cambodia,
Indonesia and
Sri Lanka in order to contribute to the adaptation of the IPC approach outside of
Great Horn of Africa region. Further objectives were to:
identify possible links between the IPC and other food security analysis, assessment and monitoring/early warning tools (WFP’s EFSAs, CFSVAs and FSMS) with the goal of adopting a standardized approach; and
provide further inputs on how to improve the IPC for standardizing situation and response analysis.
The pilot exercise in Cambodia took place between February and March 2007. The country was classified as “chronically food insecure”, except for the provinces of Bat Dambang and Phnom Penh.
