WFP addressed gender challenges through its LFBSM programme by advocating with parents and local community
leaders for equal rights for girls and boys to participate in educational activities. During implementation of the
programme, WFP designed and distributed posters and and flipcharts that promoted gender equality. Under
LFBSM, segregated data based on gender was collected and analysed during baseline and endline studies. The
LFBSM programme also provided job opportunities for women in the cooking groups.
Protection and Accountability to Affected Populations
WFP Indonesia has a strong commitment to give account to, take account of, and be held to account by the people
and the institutions it seeks to assist. The country office helped to shape the way WFP would contribute corporately
to the global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through its Integrated Road Map.
During the initial sensitisation sessions for the mother and child nutrition (MCN) and the local food-based school
meal (LFBSM) programmes prior to implementation, WFP shared the approach used for targeting with communities
and local government representatives. WFP communicated directly with beneficiaries under its MCN and LFBSM
programmes so that they were well-informed about entitlements. Communications about entitlements were also
carried out by cooperating partners and local community leaders. As an additional means of informing beneficiaries
of their entitlements, WFP staff shared contact information—office address and phone numbers—to be used if
they wished to confirm entitlements or register concerns or complaints.
In Kupang, WFP together with the Provincial Food and Drugs Board and the provincial and district food security
offices developed strict procedures for the local procurement of maize and mung beans. Starting at the farm gate all
the way to the school, steps were put in place to safeguard the supply chain. Training was provided to farmers,
cooperatives, and government field and extension workers on how to monitor the supply chain, each with their own
role. Training on food safety and quality was also provided, with focus on important aspects such as cleaning,
sorting, drying, monitoring moisture levels, sample testing, packaging, weighing, transporting, and storing.
The procedures developed were handed over to government partners for their use as they expand the school meals
programme.
As part of its work with the National Disaster Management Authority, WFP supported the Government to improve
accountability and protection for populations affected by natural disasters through (i) humanitarian logistics technical
training and the training of trainers on the supply chain, and (ii) technical assistance on the establishment of national
and provincial logistics clusters, including the development of a scenario-based emergency logistics response plan
for Java and Sumatra.
