This brief, based on the results of the Baseline Study on the Use and Impact of IPC, highlights the role played by IPC in positively influencing security policy and resource allocation targeting specific geographic areas for emergency food security responses. Global, regional and national stakeholders unanimously agree that IPC processes have contributed to improved coordination and collaboration among actors responding to acute food insecurity emergencies. By working closely and consistently with a range of institutional actors to carry out consensus-based analysis of available data, the IPC has contributed to establishing communities of practice that benefit food security programming as a whole.

The second section of the brief focuses on the best practices in the application of IPC, using the South Sudan, Bangladesh and Nepal experiences as examples.

The last section describes the key priorities going forward, including: Rollout of the IPC Chronic Food Insecurity Analysis, Pilot of IPC Nutrition Classification, Quality and Compliance Review of IPC Analysis and Information Products Development of IPC Strategic Engagement Plans.
