WFP continued to exercise due diligence and maintained a strategic and flexible approach in selecting partners for implementing its programmes. For example, WFP strictly conducts evaluations of its cooperating partners every year. If its performance was not satisfactory, the partner could not continue to work with WFP. Also, in 2016, WFP entered six stand-by agreements with various local partners to enable quicker response to internal displacements. As a result, emergency response capabilities and response times have improved significantly resulting in an increased level of effectiveness and cost-efficiency. To tackle the underlying causes of food insecurity and malnutrition and address gender inequality in access to services, WFP continued to engage more local NGOs headed by women in its programmes. In 2016, WFP partnered with an additional six local NGOs headed by women, raising the percentage of such NGOs from 8 to Afghanistan, Islamic Republic of (AF) 18 Single Country PRRO - 200447
