Operational Partnerships
WFP closely coordinated with the National Reconstruction Authority and the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development and the National Reconstruction Authority through an extensive process of discussions and joint planning during the designing of the food-assistance-for-assets( FFA) component in the PRRO. Local government and district authorities were also consulted to support the mapping of existing projects in the earthquake affected districts, which helped to focus the geographic areas targeted through FFA on the most food-insecure Village Development Committees( VDCs) in Gorkha, Dhading and Nuwakot, which were some of the worst affected by the earthquakes. The Government of Nepal ' s approval of WFP ' s PRRO proposal was received in October 2016.
The partnerships that had been established throughout WFP ' s many years of implementing FFA projects in the country were important for the selection of appropriate partners for the PRRO ' s FFA component. Partners were selected based on their previous experience in similar project implementation and their geographic presence in the programme districts. Support to Poor Producers in Nepal( SAPPROS) possessed extensive local knowledge, complemented by a track record of implementing WFP’ s FFA activities in the far western region of the country. In addition, the two non-governmental organizations( NGOs)— Deutsche Welthungerhilfe E. V and Lutheran World Federation— were selected because of their experience in both humanitarian assistance and livelihood interventions in various districts including the earthquake-affected areas. Similarly, Save the Children, one of the international NGOs supporting many child-centred interventions in education, nutrition and protection in Nepal, was selected to carry out the moderate acute malnutrition( MAM) treatment programme as a result of their geographic reach and technical expertise in managing acute malnutrition.
After the project was approved and the geographic areas of intervention were defined in October 2016, WFP finalised the selection of partners, formulated partnership agreements, and trained partner staff both at the central and district level in community mobilisation, beneficiary registration, food and cash distribution management and technical supervision of the rehabilitation work of community assets. WFP’ s Engineering Unit in the Nepal country office closely coordinated with the partners to provide technical guidance and supervision during implementation.
For the MAM treatment programme, WFP supported the handling and delivery of Plumpy ' Sup to the storage points along with the overall coordination with district health authorities, the United Nations Children ' s Fund( UNICEF) and other stakeholders, and monitored the project’ s implementation at the district level. At the field level, Save the Children was responsible for community sensitisation, identification and beneficiary registration, final distribution of
