Standard Project Report 2016
Project Activities
In line with WFP Strategic Objectives 3 and 4, the three components of the Country Programme (CP) 200245 were
designed to support the Government’s capacity to:
•
•
•
monitor, analyse, map and address food insecurity (component 1, Strategic Objective 3);
prepare for and respond to disasters and adapt to climate change (component 2, Strategic Objective 3) and
reduce undernutrition below critical levels (component 3, Strategic Objective 4).
Actual programme activities, including the food and cash tools employed under this CP, ended in December 2015.
The extended period of two months in 2016 was used to complete a smooth hand-over to respective government
partners and attend to programme closure matters.
Strategic Objective: Reduce risk and enable people, communities and countries to meet their own food and
nutrition needs (SO3).
Outcome: Risk reduction capacity of countries, communities and institutions strengthened.
WFP and the Government jointly launched four Provincial Food Security and Vulnerability Atlases (FSVA) between
December 2015 and May 2016. In addition, advocacy and utilisation workshops were held in each provincial capital
and were well-attended by government representatives. The online interactive versions of all FSVAs were made
publicly available. Users can now navigate through the wealth of data collected by FSVAs and to examine specific
locations of interest to understand the food and nutrition situation.
Additional food security analysis and monitoring activities were made possible including the re-establishment of the
Food Security Monitoring Bulletin (FSMB) in Indonesia with an initial focus on drought, and a household survey
investigating the impact of drought in eight districts. The second FSMB focusing on the impact of El Niño was
published in late January 2017 while the report on household drought impact survey was published in late February
2017.
An excellent relationship has been maintained with the National Disaster Management Authority since 2012. WFP
rendered its expertise in providing strategic support to develop a national network of humanitarian response
facilities across Indonesia, as mandated by the National Medium Term Development Plan. Training sessions were
conducted for stakeholders at national and sub-national levels covering topics such as logistics technical training,
training of trainers, incident command system training, disaster management training, and logistics management
training.
Strategic Objective: Reduce undernutrition and break the inter-generational cycle of hunger (SO4).
Outcome: Ownership and capacity strengthened to reduce undernutrition and increase access to education at
regional, national and community levels.
WFP closed the mother and child nutrition (MCN) and the local food-based school meal (LFBSM) programmes in
December 2015. Independent evaluations of these programmes were subsequently completed. WFP has supported
the Ministry of Education and Culture in the launching of the pilot national school meal programme (PROGAS)
covering 38,500 students in 146 primary schools, by providing training sessions and advocacy to strengthen the
scale of the programme. WFP meal recipes, implementation guidelines, and monitoring tools were modified and
adopted for PROGAS implementation. WFP also supported the development of behaviour change
communication materials and nutritional education modules.
In 2016, WFP engaged in discussions with the Ministry of Social Affairs to identify the potential areas for technical
cooperation, initially on improving the nutritional outcomes of the Government's food-based social assistance
programmes. Subsequent discussions expanded the scope of cooperation to include providing advice on
commodity choices and monitoring of the food supply chain for the voucher programme under which beneficiaries
can purchase rice and other food items at subsidised rates.
