Standard Project Report 2016
The National Disaster Management Authority was also mandated by the National Medium Term Development
Plan 2015–2019 to establish a National Network of Humanitarian Response Facilities (HRF) consisting of
six facilities across Indonesia. The National Disaster Management Authority turned to WFP to support
the implementation of the project. Notably, the project's inclusion within the National Medium Term Development
Plan and national budget indicated a definitive commitment to implement it and provide ongoing finance for the six
facilities. The mutual cooperation leveraged WFP’s comparative advantages in the management of the
humanitarian logistics and supply chain through integrated programme design.
Results of the analysis to identify the ideal locations for the HRFs were approved by the National Disaster
Management Authority and presented to the Parliament as justification of optimal site selections. Inputs were
incorporated from the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Public Works, the
Indonesian Logistics and Freight Forwarders Association, Maersk, the Logistics Forum, the Bandung Institute of
Technology and Gadjah Mada University.
Full implementation of WFP technical assistance is pending endorsement of a Memorandum of Cooperation with
the National Disaster Management Authority. Some activities, such as the planned establishment of two HRFs in
2016, were programmed for implementation in early 2017 as the funding period ran from March 2016 until April
2017.
WFP also spearheaded the establishment of a provincial logistics cluster in Yogyakarta and West Sumatra
Provinces, which prompted the adoption of enabling policy and regulations. The Yogyakarta Logistics Cluster was
officially endorsed by the Governor in September 2016 and inspired a neighbouring province to adopt the initiative.
The standard operating procedures developed for the provincial logistics cluster were designed as a
modular prototype to enhance the institutional effectiveness and accountability. The success story from Yogyakarta
also inspired a collaboration with Mercy Corps, which aims to establish logistics clusters or forums in six additional
provinces. WFP Indonesia conducted the first activation of the Logistics Response Team for an emergency
response in support of the 100,000 people affected by the earthquake near Aceh on 6 December 2016.
WFP Indonesia supported a high level simulation exercise in Ambon with participants from various Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries resulting in a strengthened partnership with the National Disaster
Management Authority. The country office also provided staff support with simulation exercises at WFP country
offices in Laos and Pakistan.
Strategic Objective 3: 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.
Activity: Technical Assistance.
Strong emphasis on capacity strengthening contributed to the enhanced skills, processes, tools and products for
food security and nutrition as well as early warning. WFP conducted technical workshops and training sessions that
have successfully developed national partner capacity in remote sensing techniques for disaster impact monitoring
and risk assessment, and for estimating crop planting potential. These skills were then applied in three jointly
published Food Security Monitoring Bulletins (FSMB). The FSMBs were the result of work from an exceptional team
comprised of members from five government agencies, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(FAO), and WFP.
The technical working group (TWG) established a coordination process for food security monitoring and early
warning, engaging several agencies which have not traditionally been involved in food security. With the
introduction of regular TWG meetings, coordination among the member agencies improved. The Data and
Information Unit of the Ministry of Agriculture proposed closer collaboration in the process, especially around the
use of remote sensing data and methodologies for crop estimates.
Partner agencies expressed their appreciation of the analysis in the bulletins, especially the seasonal outlooks and
the potential impact of weather extremes. The Ministry of Agriculture distributed the bulletins to its provincial level
officers. The Bureau of Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics plans to incorporate the bulletin production into
their annual workplan where it will appear in their monthly weather updates.
In early 2016, the provincial Food Security and Vulnerability Atlas (FSVAs) were launched in Nusa Tenggara Timur
(NTT), Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) and Papua provinces. This led to more focused government planning and
prioritised resource allocations in the most vulnerable districts and sub-districts.
Strategic Objective: Reduce undernutrition and break the intergenerational cycle of hunger (SO4).
Outcome: Ownership and capacity strengthened to reduce undernutrition and increase access to education at
national, regional and community levels.
