Operational Partnerships
WFP worked with the United Nations Country Team under the leadership of the Resident Coordinator contributing
to the development of the United Nations Partnership for Development Framework (UNPDF) 2016-2020. Together
with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), WFP spearheaded a United Nations focus
group on El Niño to monitor the evolving situation and coordinate support from United Nations agencies. Together
with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), WFP co-chaired the United Nations Working Group on Nutrition
and remained an active member of the Donor and United Nations Network for the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN)
movement. In addition, WFP collaborated closely with United Nations Global Pulse on the use of data and
innovation for development. Through the latter's local office, Pulse Lab Jakarta, WFP tested the feasibility of using
innovative techniques to monitor food prices in rural Indonesia through pilot studies in Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB)
and Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) provinces.
Strategic Objective: Reduce risk and enable people, communities and countries to meet their own food and
nutrition needs (SO3).
Activity: Technical Assistance.
WFP worked with various counterparts within the Government of Indonesia to strengthen the national capacity at
the central and sub-national levels; in the areas of food security analysis, WFP worked with the Food Security
Agency within the Ministry of Agriculture, on disaster preparedness with the National Disaster Management
Authority and on nutrition, with the Ministry of Health. The principal government counterpart for policy and
programming for the Country Programme 200245 was the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and
Cultural Affairs. The Central Statistics Bureau, the National Aeronautics and Space Institute, and the Bureau of
Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics, remained important partners for food security monitoring and analysis.
The strong partnership between WFP and the National Disaster Management Authority contributed to improved
institutional learning and knowledge management, and expanded emergency logistics mechanisms
