IPC Awareness-Raising Meeting in Mozambique

DATE

REGION - COUNTRY
Southern Africa Mozambique

In June, the IPC Regional Coordinator and the Regional Food Security Officer visited Mozambique and held half-day Awareness-raising session with the Mozambique's Technical Secretariat for Food Security and Nutrition (SETSAN) Task Force which comprises representation from several government departments and agencies in the food security sector.

The meeting included a presentation on IPC and discussions on how and when to take IPC forward in Mozambique. The SETSAN Task Force members showed appreciation to the value added by IPC and were eager to sensitize their organizations about the IPC. They particularly reckon the IPC function of building technical consensus as it will assist them in getting buy-in of the results of their food security assessments and the IPC classification itself. A quick presentation was also made on two important issues related to the IPC analysis process: when undertaking an IPC classification; and the indicators for which data has to be gathered.

SETSAN highlighted that, as they plan to embark on disseminating the information to the provincial authorities, they can support technical back-stopping missions that the IPC Regional team may organize in preparation of the IPC training and workshop analysis which have been tentatively planned for Mid-October 2013.
