TECHNICAL OWNER | SCD-I |
INDICATOR TYPE | Country Level Output Indicator |
INDICATOR CLASSIFICATION | Mandatory |
INDICATOR SCOPE | Programme specific |
APPLICABILITY | The selection of this indicator is mandatory against the following sub-activities in CSP logframes. Selection of the below sub-activities will trigger in COMET the mandatory selection of this indicator:
Especially those encompasses three distinct on-demand services: on‑demand cash transfer services to UN or NGO partners, on‑demand Government‑to‑Person (G2P) payment services, and on‑demand voucher services to UN or NGO partners. |
UNIT OF MEASUREMENT & ANALYSIS | Value (USD) |
DEFINITION | This indicator measures the aggregate monetary value (in USD) of cash transferred by the World Food Programme on behalf of a government or a non‑governmental partner to targeted recipients.
Below are some key terminologies for this indicator:
|
RATIONALE | This indicator is needed to document the value of these on-demand services provided per year. Tracking the value of cash transferred through WFP shows the degree of support to national systems, which is increasingly important for localization and system‑strengthening agenda. |
DATA SOURCE | The data source for the indicator is the information recorded in the WINGS system. Actuals are reported in the COMET system through the completion report/s, under the section for actual data (implementation module). |
INDICATOR CALCULATION FOR REPORTING | This indicator is calculated by summing the USD of actual transfers, disaggregated by detailed indicator (type of client). The reported data must reflect the actual transfers made to clients’ recipients, meaning the amounts that were truly disbursed, not the intended or planned transfers. Accordingly, the data should be sourced from the reconciled payment file (actual transfers), rather than from the payment list, which only reflects intended payments. |
DATA ENTRY AND DISAGGREGATION IN CORPORATE SYSTEMS | The output indicator can be further disaggregation by type of client. This indicator has two detailed indicators. Country Offices (COs) should select at least one detailed indicator:
In addition to this, each detailed indicator can be collected in COMET by:
|
PLANNED FIGURES | Planned value represents the expected amount of cash (in USD) that WFP and the partner anticipate will be transferred to people through WFP during the reporting period, as per the agreement signed between WFP and the client. Planned values for the reporting year are set annually for the table’s items / additional details related to the detailed indicator, along with the other years of the CSP/ICSP. These values should be planned in the COMET Other Output Plan (OOP) and must be established during the first quarter of the first year of CSP/ICSP implementation. Additionally, planned values are captured in the partnerships and/or agreements in COMET system, with a focus on the reporting year. For subsequent years of the CSP/ICSP, targets can either be marked as ‘no data’ or, if initially planned, should be reviewed and updated during the first quarter of the current reporting year. |
FREQUENCY OF DATA COLLECTION | The data should be collected on an annual basis. This indicator relies on financial, operational, and partner‑provided data, all of which must be verified and reconciled before reporting. The data collection process for reporting the total value of cash (USD) transferred by WFP as a service to partners involves extracting transaction data from WFP, gathering partner transfer instructions, and obtaining payment confirmation files from financial service providers. These data sources are then reconciled to ensure accuracy—removing failed, cancelled, or duplicate transactions—after which all verified amounts are converted to USD using the appropriate exchange rate and aggregated to produce the final total, followed by internal quality checks to ensure completeness and correct classification before reporting. |
INTERPRETATION | This indicator reflects the scale of WFP’s role as a cash‑transfer service provider. A higher total value indicates greater reliance on WFP’s delivery systems by governments or non‑government partners to disburse their assistance to their programme recipients. The indicator demonstrates the extent to which WFP enables partner programmes, including social protection and emergency cash responses. However, it does not measure programme outcomes or the effectiveness of the assistance delivered; it only captures the value of funds transferred through WFP’s systems. |
