Operational Partnerships
WFP forged partnerships both at the national and local levels. At the national level, WFP has worked with the
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Interior and Local Government, National
Nutrition Council of the Department of Health, and the Office of Civil Defense of the National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council, in implementing its food assistance for assets, school meals, and nutrition
activities, as well as a disaster preparedness and response and climate change adaptation programme. WFP also
entered into collaborative work with the Department of Education in support of its school meals programme, the
Department of Agrarian Reform, and the consortium consisting of the Department of Agriculture, Department of
Agrarian Reform, DSWD, and Department of Education for its Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty project. The
partnerships at the national level enabled WFP to provide valuable inputs into national policies and legislations, and
to establish smooth working relations at the local level, especially since most of the programmes of the national
government are allocated to the local government units.
At the local level, WFP built alliances with the regional government of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
(ARMM) and the provincial governments of Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, and Lanao del Norte to implement food
security and nutrition programmes in municipalities that were under the normalisation area. One of the most notable
results of the partnership with the ARMM government was the conduct of an emergency food security assessment
in March 2016 to assess the food security situation, nutrition and livelihoods in areas reportedly affected by El
Niño-correlated drought in the region. For this particular activity, WFP was able to showcase a good practice in
partnership-building. The activity facilitated the transfer of knowledge and skills in food security and nutrition
assessment and analysis, while the ARMM government provided the required human and financial resources for the
emergency food security assessment. This experience now serves as the template for the ongoing partnerships
with the provincial governments of Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur and Lanao del Norte as WFP supports them in
capacity strengthening for the food security and nutrition analysis.
In addition, the ARMM officials requested WFP to provide technical assistance on the implementation of the
livelihood component of their humanitarian and development action plans. With this, WFP was able to enhance the
