Operational Partnerships
Protocols and partnership with the Office of the United Nations Human Rights Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR) continue to improve, with various new field policies that aim to minimise dependency on external
assistance. WFP partners with Action Contre la Faim (ACF) on nutrition activities in the camp, that include moderate
acute malnutrition (MAM) prevention and treatment as well as behaviour change communication (BCC) on nutrition.
BCC includes tailored messaging on complementary feeding using the FoodCard commodities. WFP also contracts
ACF separately to conduct regular food security monitoring in the refugee camps. In 2016, a partnership with
Handicap International began, as a local initiative to support special classes for students with disabilities through the
distribution of vitamin and mineral fortified biscuits.
The Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner is WFP’s main government partner for camp relations. Through
meetings between the Commissioner and the WFP’s sub-office, advice and recommendations are shared to
strengthen interventions targeting refugees and ensure successful implementation of WFP operations there.
New Refugee Food Management Committees (RFMC) composed of refugees who collaborate with WFP were
formed. Outgoing RFMC members have been inducted into Camp Management Committees, part of the structure
set up by the Government to further institutionalise the empowerment and enhanced responsibility process.
Partnership with the RFMCs has enhanced the linkage and communication between refugees and WFP, and has
ensured timely and effective sensitisation around nutrition, voucher values and other relevant issues. This also
includes support for WFP’s grievance mechanism introduced towards the end of 2016.
Performance Monitoring
The sub-office, the Cox’s Bazar support unit in the country office and the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) unit
combine regular field level process, output and activity monitoring with food security surveillance and outcome
monitoring, in order to assess the progress of the PRRO component’s implementation. Field level monitors follow
monthly monitoring plans based on checklists designed by M&E in consultation with programme unit and sub-office
colleagues, which are updated to align with priorities and programme adjustments. Monitoring findings are reported
from the Cox’s Bazar sub-office to the country office through monthly reports including narratives on process
monitoring and output data entered to WFP’s corporate systems. Tablet-based monitoring is increasingly being
introduced to allow real-time field level monitoring.
