Standard Project Report 2016 Operational Partnerships WFP worked with the United Nations Country Team under the leadership of the Resident Coordinator contributing to the development of the United Nations Partnership for Development Framework (UNPDF) 2016-2020. Together with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), WFP spearheaded a United Nations focus group on El NiƱo to monitor the evolving situation and coordinate support from United Nations agencies. Together with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), WFP co-chaired the United Nations Working Group on Nutrition and remained an active member of the Donor and United Nations Network for the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement. In addition, WFP collaborated closely with United Nations Global Pulse on the use of data and innovation for development. Through the latter's local office, Pulse Lab Jakarta, WFP tested the feasibility of using innovative techniques to monitor food prices in rural Indonesia through pilot studies in Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) and Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) provinces. Strategic Objective: Reduce risk and enable people, communities and countries to meet their own food and nutrition needs (SO3). Activity: Technical Assistance. WFP worked with various counterparts within the Government of Indonesia to strengthen the national capacity at the central and sub-national levels; in the areas of food security analysis, WFP worked with the Food Security Agency within the Ministry of Agriculture, on disaster preparedness with the National Disaster Management Authority and on nutrition, with the Ministry of Health. The principal government counterpart for policy and programming for the Country Programme 200245 was the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Cultural Affairs. The Central Statistics Bureau, the National Aeronautics and Space Institute, and the Bureau of Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics, remained important partners for food security monitoring and analysis. The strong partnership between WFP and the National Disaster Management Authority contributed to improved institutional learning and knowledge management, and expanded emergency logistics mechanisms through the initiation of Indonesia's national network of humanitarian response facilities. WFP supported the development of two provincial logistics capacity assessments and emergency logistics response plans contributing to improved emergency preparedness and response and strengthened government capacity at the sub-national level. Strategic Objective 4: Reduce undernutrition and break the inter-generational cycle of hunger (SO4). Activity: Technical Assistance. In early 2016, as part of the hand-over of the school meals programme, WFP through its sub-offices in Papua and Nusa Tenggara Timur provinces provided extensive coaching and capacity development to teachers, farmers' groups and local government counterparts to enhance their ability to run the school meals programme independently. Topics included nutrition, school gardens, health and hygiene, storage and food safety. WFP also worked closely with the local government on planning and budgeting, financial reporting, monitoring and coordination. Performance Monitoring During the extension-in-time period of the Country Programme from 31 December 2015 to 29 February 2016, WFP staff members visited the mother and child nutrition (MCN) and the local food-based school meal (LFBSM) programme sites in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) and Papua provinces. These field visits during the hand-over of the programmes were jointly conducted to support government partners as they assumed the management of the programmes. The visits were also to gauge whether training provided and the tools to be used were adequately
