training of trainers, incident command system training, disaster management training and logistics management
training.
The Provincial Logistics Cluster in Yogyakarta Special Province was officially endorsed by Gubernatorial Decree
becoming the first such sanctioned sub-national logistics cluster in the country: budget allocations from the
provincial government are now guaranteed. In West Sumatra, WFP supported the Provincial Logistics Cluster with
support for updating the Emergency Logistics Response Plan and conducting a local level logistics capacity
assessment.
Operational Partnerships
WFP’s primary partner is the Government of Indonesia. The 2016-2020 Country Programme Action Plan was
signed by the Ministry of National Development Planning in August 2016. Each activity was elaborated within a
project document prepared in consultation with the line ministries. WFP earned the Government’s trust to help
achieve its development goals in terms of food security analysis and early warning, enhancing nutrition outcomes,
scaling up social protection, broadening the coverage of school meals programmes, and designing response
facilities across the country to reduce emergency response times. This is evident, for example, in the
Government's incorporation of WFP advice on school meals and nutrition into the national, provincial and
district-level guidelines and budgets. The Governments in two provinces and four districts have adopted the school
meals model that was piloted in 2015 under the Country Programme 200245. The Governments allocated funds
from their own budgets, and requested WFP to continue to provide technical advice as they increased the number
of schools where the programme was being implemented. In support of increasing dietary diversity and assessing
locally available nutritious foods, the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Ministry of National Development
Planning requested WFP to conduct a cost of diet study in early 2017 which will influence the choices made in
creating schools meal menus, as well as the type and composition of food commodities made available through the
Government's national social assistance programmes.
Under Activity 1, WFP supported its government partners to map vulnerability, disaster exposure and risk, as
contributors to food insecurity, analyse the linkages in order to monitor and respond to emerging food security
scenarios. WFP has maintained the relationship with long-term partners, the Food Security Agency and the
Indonesia National Aeronautics and Space Institute. Notably, several new partnerships were established with
the data and information units of the Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics Agency, the Ministry of Agriculture,
the Central Statistics Bureau and the National Disaster Management Authority. Cooperation with these agencies
enabled inter-agency data sharing, more comprehensive analyses, and enhanced the ownership and the
decision-making potential of the analyses produced. WFP worked with United Nations Global Pulse Jakarta on a
map-based dashboard for near-real time monitoring of drought. WFP continued to partner with Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and other members of the United Nations Country Team and
international organizations on food security monitoring bulletins. WFP built linkages with local universities to
deliberate on methodologies for food security analyses. WFP Indonesia established an innovative partnership with
Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the largest Muslim organization in Indonesia with an estimated membership of 40 million,
that resulted in an invitation for WFP to join the NU mission to test crop mapping using unmanned aerial vehicle
technology.
Under Activity 2, WFP coordinated with the Ministry of Health as the key technical ministry. The private
sector members of the Scaling Up Nutrition Business Network were consulted on how the private sector could
support the national nutrition campaign for the consumption of fruit and vegetables. Within the nutrition campaign,
WFP coordinated with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO)
through two networks, the Donor and United Nations Country Network for Nutrition (DUNCNN) and the Adolescent
Nutrition Stakeholders Forum, focusing onthe joint mapping of the activities of each of the partners. The Forum
comprised non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and private sector partners who support improving adolescent
nutrition outcomes. In parallel, WFP brought the campaign to life by gathering support from the United Nations
Working Group on Nutrition, professional organizations and food writers and the blogging community.
Under Activity 3, WFP partnered with the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Social Affairs at the
national level on the school meals programme and the social safety net programmes. WFP continued to stress the
importance of knowledge transfer and capacity strengthening to build government ownership of the fast-growing
national school meals programme. In addressing this knowledge transfer, WFP Indonesia established a new
partnership with Cargill to strengthen national capacity to design and implement school meals programmes. WFP’s
engagement with the Ministry of Social Affairs to improve the nutritional outcomes of food-based social assistance
programmes involves exploring new ways of integrating recommended foods and food supply chain monitoring. By
working with various stakeholders in the electronic value card for food purchases, WFP aims to link the
