INDICATOR DEFINITION

This indicator measures the proportion of WFP’s operational funding that is awarded to local partners—specifically, national cooperating partners such as local NGOs, Red Cross and Red Crescent societies, Community-based organization (CBOs) and host governments—including through Field Level Agreements (FLAs) and similar contractual frameworks. It reflects WFP’s efforts to advance localization by tracking the share of resources directly managed by local actors, in line with commitments under the Grand Bargain.

Note: This indicator takes into consideration Country offices that had active Field Level Agreements (FLAs) or Agreements with Governments involving financial transactions during the reporting year.

International NGOs (INGOs): Non-governmental organizations that operate in multiple countries and typically have an international governance structure.

Local NGOs: Non-governmental organizations that are legally registered and operate primarily within a single country.

Community-based organizations (CBOs): Grassroots organizations formed and managed by members of a specific community to address local needs.

Host Governments: A host government entity is a national or sub-national government body in a country where humanitarian operations take place, which provides support to humanitarian organizations.

CALCULATION & AGGREGATION
METHODOLOGY

Percentage of WFP operational funding awarded to national cooperating partners=

For the purpose of this calculation, the following definitions apply:

x = Actual expenditures under FLAs and Agreements with Governments paid to National Cooperating Partners (Local NGOs + CBOs) + Host Governments)

X= Actual expenditures under FLAs and Agreements with Governments paid to all Cooperating Partners (INGOs + Local NGOs + CBOs +Host Governments + UN Agencies)

The indicator value is the sum of x for all countries in the group, divided by the sum of X for all countries in the group, multiplied by one hundred. Group can be country, region, global, corporate status, etc.
