Operational Partnerships
Protocols and partnership with the Office of the United Nations Human Rights Commissioner for Refugees( UNHCR) continue to improve, with various new field policies that aim to minimise dependency on external assistance. WFP partners with Action Contre la Faim( ACF) on nutrition activities in the camp, that include moderate acute malnutrition( MAM) prevention and treatment as well as behaviour change communication( BCC) on nutrition. BCC includes tailored messaging on complementary feeding using the FoodCard commodities. WFP also contracts ACF separately to conduct regular food security monitoring in the refugee camps. In 2016, a partnership with Handicap International began, as a local initiative to support special classes for students with disabilities through the distribution of vitamin and mineral fortified biscuits.
The Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner is WFP’ s main government partner for camp relations. Through meetings between the Commissioner and the WFP’ s sub-office, advice and recommendations are shared to strengthen interventions targeting refugees and ensure successful implementation of WFP operations there.
New Refugee Food Management Committees( RFMC) composed of refugees who collaborate with WFP were formed. Outgoing RFMC members have been inducted into Camp Management Committees, part of the structure set up by the Government to further institutionalise the empowerment and enhanced responsibility process. Partnership with the RFMCs has enhanced the linkage and communication between refugees and WFP, and has ensured timely and effective sensitisation around nutrition, voucher values and other relevant issues. This also includes support for WFP’ s grievance mechanism introduced towards the end of 2016.
Performance Monitoring
The sub-office, the Cox’ s Bazar support unit in the country office and the monitoring and evaluation( M & E) unit combine regular field level process, output and activity monitoring with food security surveillance and outcome monitoring, in order to assess the progress of the PRRO component’ s implementation. Field level monitors follow monthly monitoring plans based on checklists designed by M & E in consultation with programme unit and sub-office colleagues, which are updated to align with priorities and programme adjustments. Monitoring findings are reported from the Cox’ s Bazar sub-office to the country office through monthly reports including narratives on process monitoring and output data entered to WFP’ s corporate systems. Tablet-based monitoring is increasingly being introduced to allow real-time field level monitoring.
