FactsheetIntegrated Food and Nutrition Security Phase Classification (IPC): Provision of Reliable IPC Analysis for Evidence-Based Information for Decision-Makers to Better Respond to Food Crises and Acute Malnutrition - TCP/YEM/3703 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Since 2011 the IPC has been used to inform evidence based decision making in Yemen and to provide standards to inform emergency programming, as well as being the primary source for food nutrition security resource mobilization The most recent IPC indicated that alarming levels of food insecurity and acute malnutrition have returned to Yemen and that the risk of famine is looming with unprecedentedly high malnutrition rates According to the latest analysis, persistently high levels of food insecurity with increasing food consumption gaps are evident in most governorates, despite the current levels of humanitarian assistance The principal driver of the food crisis remains the ongoing conflict, which has caused widespread infrastructural damage, population displacement, deteriorating macroeconomic conditions with accelerated inflation, disrupted livelihoods, and falling household incomes, humanitarian access constraints, disruption of public services and fuel crises. -
FactsheetImproving Evidence-Based Decision-Making on Food Insecurity and Malnutrition at Global, Regional and Country Levels - GCP/GLO/494/UK 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Despite significant progress made in recent decades, millions of people around the world are still affected by food insecurity and acute and chronic malnutrition. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic has exacerbated these issues globally. Early warning information allows for the detection of crisis “hotspots” and leads to anticipatory action, which has been shown to save lives, preserve livelihoods, and increase the cost effectiveness of humanitarian resources. In order to inform evidence based decision making for early intervention when crises hit, a set of standardized tools known as the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) was developed in 2004 to assess the severity and magnitude of food insecurity in a given country or area. This project was formulated within the framework of the IPC Global Strategic Programme (GSP) 2019 2022. It supported: the overall structure of the IPC Global Support Unit (GSU); activities for the technical development, quality assurance and institutionalization of IPC; and the achievement of project specific deliverables for IPC capacity development and quality assurance at field level. -
FactsheetSafeguarding Food Security and Rural Livelihoods Through Easier Access to Information on Plant Genetic Resources - GCP/GLO/685/GER 2020
Also available in:
No results found.There is an often significant lack of standards concerning the exchange of information on plant genetic resources for food and agriculture stored in gene banks. In this context, the project aimed to improve the value and use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture through facilitated access to scientific information and capacity development, contributing to the implementation of the Global Information System of Article 17 of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. It aimed to achieve this through three main components: (i) the development of a web portal to connect plant genetic resources information systems and datasets, (ii) the development and promotion of standards for germplasm description and documentation and (iii) the organization of training activities in two main regions to document germplasm available in the Multilateral System of the International Treaty and other useful information for plant breeders, farmers and researchers.
