Government's electronic payments to beneficiaries with the purchases they make and further link it to a cloud-based
inventory management and reordering system.
Under Activity 4, WFP continued a long-standing and excellent partnership with the National Disaster Management
Authority. The Authority mobilised additional funds from Australia to support WFP in formulating the national
logistics master plan. The Authority and WFP have exchanged letters regarding WFP's role in the establishment the
humanitarian response facilities. An expanded grouping of partners—the military, the Ministries of Social Affairs and
Health, private sector logistics and supply companies, and industry associations— were engaged to contribute
technical expertise to the design and operational management of the national network of response facilities and to
enhance collaboration and coordination during emergency responses.
Performance Monitoring
Responsibility for the monitoring of capacity strengthening activities rests with the Government and WFP. Joint field
monitoring with government counterparts, such as the Ministry of Agriculture and the Executive Office of the
President, took place to validate the assumptions made and the conclusions derived regarding crop production and
other food security related parameters. WFP’s recent implementation of the Country Office Tool for Managing
(programme operations) Effectively (COMET) has increased the robustness of the planning and reporting process.
COMET was utilised for registering activities and keeping track of the outputs and progress towards targets. Data
are available at any time for further analysis and/or reporting purposes.
WFP Indonesia adopted the country capacity strengthening matrix and the theory of change principle for all four
activities to assist in articulating WFP's achievements in strengthening government capacity. Using the five paths of
the country capacity strengthening matrix (policy and legislative framework, institutional effectiveness and
accountability, strategic planning and financing, programme design and delivery, and sustainability and continuity),
WFP was able to plan its technical assistance in an in-depth and sequential manner. This provided a strong basis
for WFP to measure and claim its contributions to changes in national capacity.
In 2016, WFP Indonesia was challenged by the requirement to identify and establish baseline values for the
outcome indicators under each of the four activities in the country plan. The National Capacity Index
(NCI) measures changes in capacity level according to milestones agreed to against a country's overarching
capacity-strengthening objectives. An increase in the NCI indicates a country’s improved capacity to reduce and
eliminate hunger. The Emergency Preparedness and Capacity Index (EPCI) represents an average score of the
changes resulting from WFP’s interventions in the area of preparedness for emergency response. The EPCI is
focused on the ownership of these systems, which is linked to sustainability.
The country programme action plan (CPAP) was signed in August 2016. Project documents to elaborate the
direction of CPAP continued in parallel. These factors led to delays in establishing baselines for all activities, which
are scheduled to be determined in early 2017. An assessment of the EPCI and its six metrics is planned in 2017 to
ascertain which metrics are suitable for inclusion in the monitoring plan and/or how to adapt them for
the humanitarian response hubs project and determining an appropriate baseline. For assessing the baseline for the
national school meals programme, since 2016 WFP Indonesia developed a questionnaire and discussed the
methodology with the WFP regional bureau and the Ministry of Education. WFP plans to apply the Systems
Approach for Better Education Results (SABER) approach in support of the Government's baseline measurement
for the school meals outcome indicators (anaemia status, anthropometric measurements, and behaviour changes
related with health, hygiene and sanitation).
Results/Outcomes
Strategic Objective 1: Save lives and protect livelihoods in emergencies (SO1).
Outcome: National institutions, regional bodies and the humanitarian community are able to prepare for, assess
and respond to emergencies.
Activity: Technical Assistance.
The National Disaster Management Authority requested WFP to formulate the national logistics master plan which
aimed to provide a long-term vision and strategy to optimise the speed, efficiency and effectiveness of the
government assistance to disaster victims. This request was indicative of the high level of confidence in WFP and
the mutual understanding between WFP and the Authority.
