agencies and government actors.
A central forum for interagency cooperation was the Disaster Management Team (DMT), which was comprised of
government agencies, international organizations, and private sector stakeholders. Another forum was the Food

post-drought rapid assessment. Through the logistics sector, WFP provided partners with information sharing
services, logistics mapping, and technical guidance.
WFP coordinated with the Government at both the national and local levels. At the national level, WFP worked with

distribute assistance. At the local level, Provincial Disaster Committees (PDCs) helped WFP contextualise the
operations in each province while WFP provided technical assistance and supervision of activities. Provincial
