Operational Partnerships
WFP continued to co-lead the Food Security Cluster with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations (FAO), helping stakeholders to coordinate and avoid duplication of humanitarian and development
responses.
WFP continued its functional partnership with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to integrate Improving
Maternal and Child Nutrition (IMCN) interventions into the national nutrition services delivery system, though there
were some debates over whether the treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) was a priority under the
community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM). WFP trained front-line heath and family planning
workers on CMAM and related behaviour change communication (BCC), although the centralised nutrition
community in Bangladesh has yet to agree on the most appropriate and sustainable approach to nutrition
rehabilitation. Therefore, WFP has been gradually phasing out from direct implementation in the treatment of MAM,
and will instead move towards partnerships to advocate on the importance of treating acute malnutrition and
promoting nutrition-sensitive social protection in the national plan of action for nutrition with the identified agencies.
In 2016, the IMCN programme was increasingly implemented by government staff in intervention areas as a result
of WFP's capacity strengthening. Collaboration with national and international cooperating partners like Terre des
Hommes, Society for Human and Environment Development (SHED), Social Assistance and Rehabilitation for the
Physically Vulnerable (SARPV) and Action Contre la Faim (ACF) ensured comprehensive CMAM delivery, including
severe acute malnutrition treatment, community outreach and BCC.
The Nutrition Cluster, which WFP is a member of and which is led by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF),
coordinated nutrition responses for flood and cyclone emergencies and enhanced preparedness and response
capacity.
