The IPC is currently supported by:Since the IPC inception, the European Union is one of IPC's biggest and loyal resource partners. Currently the European Commission's Directorate-General for Development and Cooperation (DEVCO) - EuropeAid is funding IPC normative development, technical support to countries and regions, and IPC institutionalization at the global level, within the framework of framework of the three year (2015–2018) EU-FAO Partnership Programme pursuing “Information for nutrition food security and resilience for decision making” (INFORMED). The Programme aims at strengthening resilience to withstand food crises as a result of human-induced and natural disasters, through the provision of technical, analytical and capacity development assistance to regional bodies and national government institutions closely associated with policy and programming. UK development policy had poverty eradication as its overarching goal. DFID Rural Livelihoods Department (RLD) has lead responsibility for food security policy within DFID and pursues the objectives of that policy inter alia by encouraging the adoption and use of sustainable livelihood approaches.
The DFID-funded IPC project is ultimately supporting the overall strategic objective of the IPC to improve understanding of food security situations and link better information to action. USAID carries out U.S. foreign policy by promoting broad-scale human progress at the same time it expands stable, free societies, and fosters good will abroad. USAID is scaling up a comprehensive approach to fighting hunger and strengthening food security by: investing in cutting-edge scientific and technological agricultural research, developing agricultural markets, helping farmers access capital, offering extension services, providing emergency food assistance.
The IPC was also supported by:The Australian Government's overseas aid program is improving the lives of millions of people in developing countries. Australia is working with the governments and people of developing countries to deliver aid where it is most needed and most effective. It has developed a comprehensive approach to food security and rural development by targeting the immediate needs of the poorest, while also strengthening the foundations of long-term global food security. The mandate of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada includes engaging in policy development in Canada and internationally, enabling Canada's effort to realize its development objectives. Increasing food security is one of Canada's priority international development themes. Over this period, lessons have been learned from practice, the technical rigour of the tool has been strengthened, hundreds of analysts have been trained and the IPC is now being used in close to 30 countries in Africa, Asia and Central America, becoming a sustainable and autonomous process chaired by Governments. Thanks to Canada's support, the IPC is now an international reference for food security analysis and classification. The Commission's European Community Humanitarian Office (ECHO) was created in 1992 as an expression of the European solidarity with people in need all around the world. In 2004 ECHO became the Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid before integrating Civil Protection in 2010 for a better coordination and disaster response inside and outside Europe. The BMZ develops the guidelines and the fundamental concepts on which German development policy is based. It devises long-term strategies for cooperation with the various players concerned and defines the rules for implementing that cooperation. These are the foundations for developing shared projects with partner countries and international development organisations. The Netherlands has undertaken a fundamental review of development policy. It has decided to assist fewer partner countries while focusing on four spearhead areas in which the Netherlands can add special value.
SIDA is a government organization under the Swedish Foreign Ministry, which administers approximately half of Sweden's budget for development aid. Swedish development aid follows three thematic priorities: democracy and human rights, environment and climate change, and gender equality and women’s role. The Agency funded IPC pilot exercises in 3 countries in 2009-2010 through WFP and in 2011 through FAO-FMMP. |
