Standard Project Report 2016
WFP has been collaborating with the Government and other partners in a range of assessments. The Cost of Diet
study was conducted with the Ministry of Planning, Development and Reform and the Planning Commission to
provide a better understanding of the effects of buying power on the availability and affordability of nutritious foods.
WFP supported the Nutrition in the Cities study to assess the nutrition status of urban children aged 0-59 months in
Pakistan. An endline report on the impact of cash-based transfers (CBT) in the districts of Tharparkar, Umerkot and
Sanghar was produced to gauge the impact of the cash-based asset creation and livelihood support through FFA
programmes which were implemented in 2015.
In addition to providing technical support to the design of school feeding programmes, WFP also produced the sixth
consecutive annual edition of the Pakistan Education Atlas. This was executed in partnership with the Federal
Ministry of Education through the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) at the Academy of
Educational Planning and Management (AEPAM). The project has now been handed over to the Government for
continuation. This atlas is an effective tool for assisting the Government and development actors to make informed
and targeted decisions regarding interventions in the Education sector.
Under its Disaster Risk Management Component, WFP produced/validated 12 reports on Multi-Hazard and
Vulnerability Risk Assessments for ten districts in the Sindh and Punjab provinces. In addition, WFP contributed to
the Joint UN Needs Assessment in Khyber and South Waziristan Agencies.
Special operation 200707 (2014-2016), approved budget USD 9.67 million, focused on the construction of
Humanitarian Response Facilities at strategic locations throughout the country which aimed at strengthening the
disaster preparedness and response capabilities, contingency planning through the capacity augmentation of the
government and the broader humanitarian community.
