COUNTRY STRATEGY

WFP’s Country Programme reflects Indonesia’s transformation to middle income status and the challenges of ensuring the poorest and most vulnerable people attain food security as the country progresses economically. The programme also reflects the shift in WFP’s role from direct operational engagement to capacity building and the empowerment of government and communities to address hunger and nutrition challenges.

WFP focuses on supporting the Government of Indonesia in i) monitoring, analysis, and mapping of food security, ii) disaster risk education, and iii) reducing undernutrition. Over the four years of the Programme, WFP’s direct food assistance is primarily focused on eastern areas in view of the alarming undernutrition figures and capacity gaps, i.e. NTB, NTT and Papua. WFP has been present in Indonesia since 1964. WFP left Indonesia in 1996, but was invited to return in 1998 to respond to the Asian financial crisis and drought caused by El Niño.
