Countries in the East and Central Africa Region were the staring point for the worldwide implementation of the IPC. The IPC was originally developed in 2004 in Somalia by the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) and, based on the success of its use to inform decision-making, the IPC spread to neighboring countries. Today 10 countries lead acute analysis two to four times a year: Burundi, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. In May 2014, Rwanda took the first steps to implement IPC (awareness raising and Technical Working Group composition, Level 1 Training and Acute Analysis prototypes).
