Building on WFP's experience, the Government of Indonesia decided to scale up school meals to 38,500 students
in four districts in 2016, and three additional districts in Papua elected to continue providing school meals using their
own funds after WFP phased out its support. Further, based on WFP's successful implementation of the local
food-based school meal (LFBSM) prototype pilot in the Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) and Papua Provinces, WFP
was approached by the Ministry of Education and Culture to help revitalise the national school meal programme.
WFP has been involved in the design and formulation of operational guidelines, training modules and monitoring
instruments. The cash transfer modality that WFP used in the pilot was also adopted by the Government.
WFP began cooperation with the Ministry of Social Affairs to improve the nutritional impact of national social
protection schemes and ensure robust supply chains and monitoring. The Presidential Decree in April 2016
requested a review of all social safety net programmes with the aim of combining all social assistance transfers into
one single card to improve transparency and efficiency and to promote financial inclusion of the poor. WFP's
expertise on the cost of diet study was welcomed by the Government as a tool to establish whether a nutritious diet
can be achieved given the foods available at local markets and if such a diet is affordable based on actual
household food expenditure patterns. This information would then be effectively used by the Government to improve
the nutrition sensitivity of the social safety net programmes, for example, by providing an evidence base to justify
increasing the food commodity voucher value, identify better beneficiary targeting strategies, and expanding the
range of food commodities that can be accessed with commodity vouchers. Upon request, WFP also conducted an
initial rapid assessment of the food supply chain for the cashless electronic wallet for the food purchases
programme, E-Warung KUBE, aiming to improve its supply chain and nutritional impact.
WFP and the National Disaster Management Authority, in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders,
completed the identification of the six most suitable locations for response facilities. The National Disaster
Management Authority also mobilised additional resources on behalf of WFP to help formulate the National
Logistics Master Plan with the ultimate objective of reducing Indonesia's disaster risk index. With technical support
from WFP, Yogyakarta Province established the first provincial logistics cluster with all its activities being fina
