In Southern Africa, IPC concepts and approach were introduced during an information workshop held in Gaborone in February 2008. The event was hosted by the SADC-RVAC (Regional Vulnerability Assessment Committee) the multi-agency committee that spearheads critical improvements in food security and vulnerability analysis at regional and country level in the Southern African Development Community.
Most recently, a Technical Working Group has been established within the Regional Vulnerability Assessment Committee (RVAC) of the SADC and is taking on the coordination of IPC work in the region, in particular in the four focus countries where the IPC is being piloting which are South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique.
