Operational Partnerships
The Ministry of Home Affairs bears the overall responsibility for managing the refugee camps in coordination with
the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and WFP. The National Unit for the
Coordination of Refugee Affairs at the central level, and the Refugee Coordination Unit at the district and camp
levels, functioned as the two main agencies of the Government of Nepal that coordinated and supervised the
refugee support operations. The partnership with the Government was reinforced by other national
non-governmental organizations that served as cooperating partners at the camp level, such as Lutheran World
Federation and Association of Medical Doctors of Asia. Along with UNHCR, the International Organization for
Migration continued to support the resettlement programme, mainly through overall coordination and assistance in
the resettlement process. Interagency meetings were held at sub-office level and at central level to bring all
stakeholders together, ensure proper follow-up on operational issues, and enhance coordination.
WFP supported pregnant and lactating women and children aged 6-59 months with specialized nutritious
food—Super Cereal, vegetable oil and micronutrient powder, which were distributed by Association of Medical
Doctors of Asia (AMDA). This activity was complemented by UNHCR-supported nutrition counselling that was
carried out by the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness and Maternal Child Health Units,
which included trained refugee volunteers and experts from AMDA. In addition, WFP’s partner AMDA, while
providing nutrition and health related services as UNHCR's partner, conducted food basket monitoring and data
collection for market surveys. AMDA supported WFP's post distribution monitoring on a monthly basis by increasing
the sample size of households to gather vital information on the impact of the needs-based approach for food
assistance. Through these activities, WFP could regularly monitor the quality and quantity of food distributed,
accountability in the food distribution process, and the effect of free commodity distributions on the local markets so
that any adverse effects could be quickly recognised and corrected.
Lutheran World Federation was primarily responsible for managing food storage, handling and distribution of
commodities, monitoring of food distribution in the camps, and mobilisation of volunteers for food distribution
management. Lutheran World Federation was also responsible for implementing the reclamation gardening
programme.
As a result of the changing situation in the camps where the refugees had increased access to remittances from
their resettled relatives, opportunities for small businesses and work inside the camps increased, which improved
household income. These positive changes in refugees’ lives and shifting donor priorities on the global humanitarian
refugee crisis created challenges for WFP and partners to leverage sufficient donor support for all of the activities
aimed at Bhutanese refugees in Nepal. Hence, WFP initially did not plan to receive complementary funds from
partners during 2016. However, Association of Medical Doctors of Asia generously provided USD 2,188 for food
basket monitoring activities, whereas the Lutheran World Federation did not generate any additional funds for the
projects. WFP initially planned to implement the project through three partners; however, as activities gradually
