First national-wide IPC Analysis in Afghanistan

The IPC has been introduced in Afghanistan early 2011 thanks to an ECHO-funded project which is now completing its second phase. A national training and analysis of the current acute food insecurity situation took place in Kabul from 5 to 16 November 2013, followed by official presentation of results to key stakeholders on 17 November.

A major accomplishment of this workshop is that it included for the first time participants from all provinces, while previous IPC activities had only involved some provinces and never produced IPC national map. The analysis was conducted in 5 days with the same TWG members who had participated in the training. Recent data collected in all provinces allowed covering the whole country for the first time. Two national maps were produced: one map provides the current food insecurity situation valid for December 2013, and the other map shows the projected food insecurity situation from January to March 2014. The analysis worksheets will be soon released to ensure transparency of the classification.

A three years IPC programme has recently been signed between FAO and the EU. This will allow fully institutionalizing the IPC within the Government and improving the quality of the IPC analysis through decentralization, stronger technical capacity of the staff and mainstreamed process.
