The IPC Global Steering Committee is organizing a two-day IPC Global Event under the theme Use and Impact of IPC at the Global, Regional and Country Level which will take place on July 1-2 2014, at FAO-HQs, Rome Italy.

The event will be also the platform to launch the IPC Chronic Food Insecurity Classification as well as to present the the new IPC Nutrition Classification initiative.

The IPC Global Event is structured as a two-day series of consultations and interactive seminars and consists of the following events:

Participants will include representatives of global IPC stakeholder, partner and donor agencies, Regional Inter-government Bodies (CILSS, SADC, IGAD, SICA and others), and relevant food security programming and policy organizations. A selection of 10 IPC Country Best Practices will also participate.

The morning session of the IPC Partner & Donor Consultation is open to all interested while the participation to the afternoon session is reserved to core IPC partners.

2) On July 2, the IPC for Decision Makers Seminar Series is an open-day to learn on the relevance and usefulness of IPC analysis for strategic decision making.
