After several past IPC consultations and exercises in the region, the IPC took off in Asia in 2012 with a regional project funded by ECHO which provided country level IPC training and capacity building support. This initiative proved successful as it demonstrated that the IPC was well suited to the Asia context and added value by assisting governments and partners in decision making to address food insecurity. As a result government and country demand for IPC is growing in the region and new partners have come on board to support the IPC initiative in the region.

The IPC Asia Regional Steering Committee is currently working on the development of an IPC Asia Strategic Programme (2014-2016) that is linked to the IPC Global Strategic Programme (2014-2016) and will the priorities, objectives and plans for IPC activities in the region over the next three years.
