Philippines: Integrated Context Analysis (ICA), 2014

This layer contains information about the average landslide risk - by second-level administrative area - used for the purposes of the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in the Philippines in 2014. Data source: National Household Targeting System and Mines and Geosciences Bureau. The main indicator used for the analysis was the average flandslide risk by barangay reaggregated by province level.

This layer contains information about the average flood risk - by second-level administrative area - used for the purposes of the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in the Philippines in 2014. Data source: National Household Targeting System and Mines and Geosciences Bureau. The main indicator used for the analysis was the average flood risk by barangay reaggregated by province level.

This layer contains information about the final classification resulting from the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in the Philippines in 2014, showing the areas of convergence between recurrence of poverty incidence and propensity to natural shocks (floods, tropical storms, landslides and tree cover change).

This document contains the results of the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) conducted in the Philippines in 2014. The analysis brings together the historical risk of natural shocks (floods, tropical storms, landslides and tree cover changes) and the recurrence of poverty incidence with other key contextual information to provide broad programmatic strategies by first-level administrative area.

This layer contains information about the recurrence of poverty incidence - by second-level administrative area - observed during the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in the Philippines in 2014. Data sources: Philippines National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), 2006-2012. It should be noted that, in absence of national food security information, poverty data has been used as a proxy to food insecurity - assuming that families below the poverty line are likely to be food insecure. Also, in the Philippines official methodology, the poverty line may be viewed as the minimum income required to meet food requirements as well as non-food basic needs. The main indicator used for the analysis was the recurrence of poverty incidence, with a threshold set to 30% of the families to represent 1 out of 3 people below the poverty line.

This layer contains information about the occurrence of tropical storms above Category 3 - according to the Saffir-Simpson scale and by second-level administrative area - used for the purposes of the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in the Philippines in 2014. Data source: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) IBTrACS, 2002-2012. The main indicator used for the analysis was the number of times that a province was hit, in the time frame of interest, by a tropical storm above Category 3.

This layer contains information about the changes in tree cover density - by second-level administrative area - estimated during the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in the Philippines in 2014. Data source: Landsat Vegetation Continuous Fields (VCF), 2000-2010. It should be noted that, in absence of livelihood data, land cover was used as a proxy for rural livelihoods. The main indicator used for the analysis was the average provincial trend of tree cover change in the last ten years.

This layer contains information about the estimated numbers of people living below the poverty line used for the purposes of the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in the Philippines in 2014. Data source: Philippines National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), 2012.
