The evaluation found that the country strategic plan facilitated WFP’s continued strategic positioning and it supported the Government’s efforts to achieve the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. The plan contributed to increased strategic engagement in an array of humanitarian and development sectors, particularly with regard to strengthening national systems for humanitarian response and food security.
The five recommendations resulting from the evaluation encourage WFP to remain strategically focused on country capacity strengthening through the utilization of a country capacity strengthening framework adapted to conditions in Indonesia as an upper-middle-income country; to ensure that processes are in place for continuing to strengthen staff capacity and organizational culture consistent with a country capacity strengthening mandate; to develop a coherent partnership agenda that will enable it to manage the variety of partnerships required for country capacity strengthening; to ensure that country strategic plan activities are well aligned with government processes, which requires flexible responsiveness to the Government’s needs and processes within a systematic framework of action; and to invest further in contextualizing existing corporate systems and result frameworks so as to make country capacity strengthening processes and contributions more visible.
