This analysis is in fulfillment of the second obligation of Economic Research Group to FAO under the agreement on "Integrated Food Security Phase Classification in Asia: special focus to strengthen IPC capacity in four countries". A part of this analysis, dealing with the framework, was submitted previously on 14 November 2012. This has been extended to allow for skipping the prototypes and adhere to the basics – that is, the four phases of chronic (level) analysis proposed in the IPC Technical Manual Version 2.0. The analysis further elaborates on the steps for chronic phase classification and proposes the indicators/variables to be chosen for the analysis.
