Towards a harmonized Regional IPC map

Transcription

1 East and Central Africa Region Towards a harmonized Regional IPC map Step 1 Refine country analysis Step 2 In-country border discussions Step 3 Sub-regional cross-border analysis

2 Why IPC Cross Border Analysis? Borders are just imaginary lines on a map! Most border points are porous allowing movements of people and livestock Livelihood assets and strategies may be similar Cross border communities generally face similar hazards even though vulnerabilities may differ Need to understand how individual country food security affects the region collectively To understand what/how cross border activities affect internal issues of each country

3 Why IPC Cross Border Analysis? 1. Understand similarities or differences in phase classification between border areas of countries 2. Enrich evidence available for each side of the border 3. Compare the processes and the methodologies used in the situation analysis 4. Enable cross-border comparison of FS situation at regional level 5. Reach technical consensus on the regional FS IPC map

4 Current Regional FS Situation Outlook Map (IPC) Rwanda

6 MANDERA TRIANGLE Nov Major Issues Drought - Seasonal performance Population movements Border closure Military intervention - Civil Security Water availability/access Livestock migration - mortality

7 KARAMOJA CLUSTER Nov Major Issues Rainfall performance High malnutrition rates Livestock production Cattle rustlings/tribal conflicts Food aid pipeline Crop diseases High market dependency Terms of trade

8 GREAT LAKES REGION 1 - Nov Major Issues IDPs/Refugees returnees CMD/CBS, BBW, CBD.. Livestock diseases Population density Rainfall performance Trade bans

9 GREAT LAKES REGION 2 - Nov Major Issues Population movement, IDPs, refugees CMD/CBS, BBW, CBD.. Population density Rainfall performance Localized conflict and civil insecurity

10 DRC/SUDAN/CAR/UGANDA Nov Major Issues Localized and sporadic conflicts; mobile rebel groups Refugees and IDPs Population movements Trade Conflict over land and resources Governance High and volatile food prices Poor infrastructure

11 Somalia/ Ethiopia/ Djibouti Nov Major Issues Drought - Seasonal performance Population movement Border closure Civil Security Water availability/access Livestock migration Poor infrastructures/ Limited access

12 S. Sudan/ Sudan/ Ethiopia Nov Major Issues Conflict - Civil Security Border closure Population movement Poor infrastructures Interruption of cropping season

13 Step 1 & 2 - Country Analysis Group work Session objective: Refine country analysis & discuss border issues A. Country refine their current evidence template B. Countries discuss their border areas and discuss issues (refer to regional map) C. Identify which country members will go into which sub-regional group/cluster Morning, from 11:30 to 13:00

14 Discussion Guidelines A) Country analysis Revisit the evidence templates to ensure there is general consensus for last season analysis Countries without IPC analysis look at current FEWS- NET map and reach a consensus Provide GIS support with country shape files & current maps B) Border areas Discuss country border areas in relation to neighboring countries IPC classification Discuss reasons for similarities & differences

16 Step 3 Cross-border Analysis Sub-regional Group Work Session objective: Towards a harmonised regional map A. Form sub-regional groups as identified during the last session B. Sub-region groups discuss the similarities and differences of their border areas C. Agree on whether there needs to be adjustments to the country analysis to reflect cross border consistencies D. Provide these changes to the GIS team to adjust the regional map E. Write up the similarities, difference and conclusions from the discussions and present within the template provided Afternoon session

17 Discussion Guidelines Is there any physical or natural barrier that affects community interaction along borders? What are the similarities and differences in livelihood assets and strategies? What are the main shocks/hazards the communities face? Are they similar? How do the vulnerabilities compare? What are the spillover effects of the current situation on either side? How does the FS situation in each country affect others in the region? How do country policies and regulations affect FS?

18 Discussion Guidelines What is the justification for the phase classification in each side of the border? Is the evidence strong enough? Are the processes and methodologies used in the analysis the same? Based on the discussions above, what is the group s recommendation on the phase classification? Where appropriate, update your IPC map

19 Discussion Groups 1. Mandera Triangle: Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya 2. Karamoja Cluster: Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Sudan 3. Great Lakes Region 1: Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda 4. Great Lakes Region 1: Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, DRC 5. DRC/ CAR / Southern Sudan/Uganda 6. Sudan/Ethiopia/Djibouti 7. Ethiopia/Sudan/South Sudan
