Indonesia: An Evaluation of WFP's Portfolio (2009-2013)

The Indonesia portfolio evaluation covered WFP operations during 2009-2013, and the 2011-2015 Country Strategy Document. WFP made important strategic choices, highly relevant to Indonesia’s humanitarian and development needs and increasingly aligning with the changing national agenda and policies. The central challenge in adjusting operations to match strategy was to move from procuring and distributing food to supporting national capacity development and using prototypes to link small-scale field implementation, through advocacy, to large-scale adoption. With rapid budget reductions and insufficient technical and capacity development effort, the portfolio showed varied and overall limited effectiveness in the period evaluated.
