Project Objectives
Building on key learnings from the Typhoon Haiyan emergency in 2013-2014, this Special Operation aims to
mitigate potential bottlenecks and challenges as identified during the large-scale humanitarian response.
The 2013-2014 Typhoon Haiyan response led to the identification of operational bottlenecks and challenges
affecting large-scale humanitarian responses in the Philippines. In this context, WFP, in collaboration with the
Government of the Philippines, identified a series of prioritized actions that will address these issues, and launched
Special Operation 200706 (SO) on July 2014.
Implemented over an initial two-year period, the primary goal of this SO is to enhance the disaster response
capacity of the Government in areas of logistics and supply chain management, through a partnership with the
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) as key members of
the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) and co-chairs of the Government’s
Response Cluster.
In line with WFP Strategic Objective 1, the main objectives of this Special Operation are the following:
•
•
•
•
Enhance the throughput and efficiency of the National Resource Operation Center (NROC), the main facility in
Manila packaging the DSWD Family packs, utilizing a mechanized packing system (MPS) and best practices in
flow optimization.
Establishment of a network of disaster response facilities in Luzon, Cebu and Mindanao for prepositioning of
relief items and operational support equipment, decentralization of enhanced DSWD mechanized family pack
production and stock prepositioning, and application as training facilities for government responders;
Design and implementation of a Government training programme with an emphasis on disaster response
logistics and supply chain management, applying the equipment, facilities and response options established via
the above.
Development of appropriate response options including in-kind food assistance and cash or voucher transfer
applying benchmarks and pre-disaster agreements to ensure timeliness and provide clear triggers for WFP
support to the government.
