Supply Chain
In 2016, local purchases accounted for 64 percent of WFP's total food procurement, which resulted in reduced
delivery lead times and costs. WFP, in collaboration with local producers, developed specialised nutritious foods
(SNF) for the treatment and prevention of malnutrition which included Acha Mum, Wawa Mum, and the new
lipid-based nutrient supplement (LNS) Maamta. WFP worked with local producers to develop their capacity to
produce SNF, contributing significantly to the long-term sustainability of nutrition support interventions in the
country.
WFP milled wheat in-country and locally fortified it with a vitamin and mineral premix to enrich the staple food to
address micronutrient deficiencies. WFP produced fortified wheat flour in 11 flour mills in Peshawar and Multan, and
a 99 percent extraction rate was applied when transforming wheat to wheat flour.
In 2016, WFP managed four warehouses in Sindh, Baluchistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Pakistan Administered
Kashmir. These facilities were used for the storage of food and non-food items for WFP interventions. WFP
provided warehousing services to other humanitarian partners including United Nations agencies, international
non-governmental organizations, and government departments. To strengthen the capacity of partners in logistics,
WFP organised 33 training sessions across the country in which a total of 725 participants were trained on different
logistics components. These sessions were conducted for government counterparts including the National Disaster
Management Authority, Provincial Disaster Management Authorities, food departments from local government, and
non-governmental organizations to augment the capacity of partners in humanitarian and emergency logistics.
