Standard Project Report 2016
this programme was not implemented in 2016.
The Ministry of Health procured and delivered 741 mt of Super Cereal up to the extended delivery points (EDP) for
various nutrition interventions in 2016. The Ministry also indicated support for piloting the MAM treatment
programme given the availability of resources in the future.
From January to February 2016, Super Cereal was distributed in the three district (Mugu, Jumla and Solukhumbhu)
as per the reduced operational plan. However, a pipeline break occurred from March to May due to resource
constraints. With funds received in the latter part of 2016 from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for
drought response, WFP was able to expand coverage of the programme to up to seven districts (Jumla, Mugu,
Kalikot, Humla, Dolpa, Bajura and Solukhumbu). However, this led to the lower than planned annual food
distribution (34 percent) in the MCHN programme.
Component 4: Capacity development
Strategic Objective: Reduce risk and enable people, communities and countries to meet their own food and
nutrition needs (SO3)
Outcome: Risk reduction capacity of countries, communities and institutions strengthened
Activity: Capacity development
WFP's Nepal food security monitoring system known as Nepal Khadhya Surakshya Anugaman Pranali (NeKSAP) is
linked to the Government's food security field surveillance system. The NeKSAP was developed in 2002, based on
strong collaboration between the Government and WFP to improve the Government's ability to design, plan, and
implement evidence-based food security policies. NeKSAP regular activities were implemented through the
Government’s own resources with technical support from WFP during 2016.
WFP improved local level planning through the Community Development Programme (CDP), supporting the
Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development to formulate an annual development plan for the VDCs, in line
the Government’s 14-step planning process. In early 2016, WFP conducted orientations to stakeholders
(secretaries of VDCs, members of community-based organizations, youth and local political leaders and members
of the Ward Citizens’ Forum). WFP also continued the capacity development activities undertaken in the previous
year around the humanitarian staging area (HSA) constructed at the Tribhuvan International Airport.
Component 4: Capacity development
Strategic Objective: Reduce undernutrition and break the intergenerational cycle of hunger (SO4)
Outcome: Ownership and capacity strengthened to reduce undernutrition and increase access to education at
regional, national and community levels
Activity: Capacity development
In 2016, WFP provided training and technical assistance to the Ministry of Education and the Food for Education
Project (FFEP) on commodity management, food storage and handling and hygienic food preparation training for
staff of all 10 programme districts. Altogether, 2,042 school cooks from WFP-supported schools were also included
with 100 resource persons. Furthermore, 30 government staff participated in training sessions on the management
of specialised nutritious food and reporting through the electronic standard project report system (eSPR). Teachers
and resource persons were trained on teaching skills for early grade literacy and digital learning. 1,329 teachers
were trained to promote good practices among adolescent girls, such as hand-washing, sanitation and hygiene.
Education ministry officials also benefited from a study visit to the Ghanaian national school meals programme, to
learn best practices and innovative solutions such as school menu planning. Education officials also attended the
Global Child Nutrition Forum (GCNF) and the South Asian regional school feeding forum which helped them to get
acquainted with the working modalities, collaboration and coordination mechanisms needed for a sustainable school
meals programme.
