Economic growth over the past decade has halved the percentage of Indonesia¡¯s population living in hunger and extreme poverty. Achieving food security and improved nutrition for all Indonesians is possible, particularly if the Government¡¯s capacity to address malnutrition, adapt to climate change and prepare for disasters is augmented.

Food sovereignty and nutrition are central to the National Medium-Term Development Plan (2015¨C2019). The Government seeks WFP¡¯s support for two of its five priorities: improving nutrition and the quality of food, and mitigating the effects of disasters on food security.

WFP¡¯s Country Strategic Plan for Indonesia is based on a strategic review of food security and nutrition by a national research institute, incorporating feedback from the Government, civil society, the private sector and development partners. The Government, the strategic review and the country portfolio evaluation (2009¨C2013) recommended that ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳discontinue direct food distributions, except in a Level 3 emergency response, and focus on policy advice, capacity development and knowledge-sharing to support the Government¡¯s investments in food security, nutrition and emergency preparedness.

With the aim of reducing the number of severely food-insecure people by 11 million, the country programme will implement four activities to achieve three strategic results.

Strategic Result 1: An evidence-based approach will prioritize the most vulnerable people and regions with a view to reducing severe food insecurity by 1 percent per year.

• Activity 1: Support the Government in collecting and analysing food security and nutrition data for optimum policies and programmes (Strategic Objective 3/Strategic Result 1).

Strategic Result 2: Consumers will be encouraged to adopt balanced diets through nutrition campaigns and nutrition-sensitive social protection programmes.

• Activity 2: Promote balanced diets to address undernutrition and overweight.
• Activity 3: Improve the efficiency and nutrition impact of national social protection programmes.

Strategic Result 3: Indonesia¡¯s emergency logistics capacity will be upgraded to respond in a timely and coordinated manner to disasters.

• Activity 4: Enhance emergency preparedness and response through the establishment of an integrated network of logistics hubs.

The country programme is aligned with ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳Strategic Objectives 1, 3 and 4 and Sustainable Development Goal 2. It was designed in accordance with the United Nations Partnership for Development Framework.
