UNIT OF MEASUREMENT & ANALYSIS | USD |
DEFINITION | This indicator can be used to measure the USD value of all support, including both services administered and/or provided by WFP as well as formal coordination led or co-led by WFP, provided by WFP to governments and partners. Below are some terminologies related to the indicator: Support Services: is work done by WFP to deliver a tangible output (see above Sub-Activity Tags) that enables a government or parter organization to be more efficient and/or effective in their respective areas of work, for example: WFP contracting or operating guest houses, that are used by governments and/or partners to accommodate their personnel; WFP contracting or operating ICT infrastructure, that is used by governments and/or partners to communicate; WFP chartering and/or managing the operations of aircraft, that are used by governments and/or partners to move their personnel and/or cargo; WFP contracting or operating trucks, that are used by governments and/or partners to move their goods. Administered/Provided by: describes all services where WFP is the accountable party vis-à-vis the service user (i.e. the government and/or partner organization); in these cases WFP has either leased facilities and infrastructure, and hired personnel to directly provide the services, or has sub-contracted a service provider that will be tasked by WFP to deliver the service to a government and/or partner organization. Formal Coordination Mechanisms: are those country-level coordination forums established by a UN Country Team, Humanitarian Country Team, or national disaster management agency; having the endorsement of the RC or RC/HC, and the agreement of the UN Country Team and/or Humanitarian Country Team. They include, but are not limited to, country level Clusters (activated by the IASC), HCT and UNCT working groups (incl sectoral working groups and working groups established under the Operations Management Team), etcetera. Lead/Co-lead: describes a formal role assumed by an organization, with the endorsement of the RC/HC and country team, wherein that organization becomes responsible to regularly convene an appropriate group of stakeholders (i.e. a coordination forum) and lead them in working together to achieve the stated objectives endorsed by the RC/HC and country team; including managing a common/joint workplan, maintaining records of any joint work, reporting back and providing secretariat support to the forum. |
RATIONALE | This indicator can be used to measure for the scale of support that WFP has provided, including both services administered and/or provided as well as formal coordination led or co-led, to governments and partners; in line with both Article II section d (i.e. providing services to bilateral donors, UN agencies and NGOs) and Article III (i.e. consulting with, seeking advice from and cooperating with the UN, FAO and other relevant organizations) of the General Regulations approved by the EB in 2025. |
DATA SOURCE | WINGS |
INDICATOR CALCULATION FOR REPORTING | This indicator is calculated as follows: Σ expenses in the reporting period for the “relevant” CSP Activity “Relevant” CSP activities include only those of the following categories: Mandated Logistics Services, Mandated Telecommunications Services, Aviation Services, and On-demand Services.
|
DATA ENTRY AND DISAGGREGATION IN CORPORATE SYSTEMS | This output indicator consists of one detailed indicator, Country Offices (COs) should select detailed indicator and report against it. In addition to this, each detailed indicator can be disaggregated in COMET by:
|
PLANNED FIGURES | Is the estimated budget for the CSP Activity to which this indicator is attached; planned figures are revised when the estimated budget is revised.
|
FREQUENCY OF DATA COLLECTION | This indicator is more useful, in terms of providing feedback on support operations, if it is calculated and reported monthly or quarterly; but at minimum, if selected, it should be calculated and reported every six months. |
INTERPRETATION | This indicator is a ‘snapshot’ for the scale of support provided by WFP to governments and partners, in the reporting period (i.e. all sub-activities in all relevant activities categories can be measured in this same way, because they all have expenses that are tracked); where service-specific indicators (see below “Indicators Collected & Analyzed at the Same Time”) are limited in terms of yielding information about the overall picture of support at country level. Frequent, and/or sudden changes in this value can indicate high degrees of uncertainty and/or instability in the relevant activity categories; and should inform CO planning accordingly. |
REPORTING EXAMPLE(S) | In cases where the CO has applied the indicator to all relevant CSP Activities, the value can be reported in general terms: In cases where the CO has only applied the indicator to some relevant CSP Activities, this limited application should be noted in the reporting: |
INDICATORS COLLECTED & ANALYSED AT THE SAME TIME | The following indicators may be reported along with this indicator: |
VISUALIZATION | N/A |
LIMITATIONS | This indicator can be influenced by factors not directly linked to the level of support provided by WFP under the CSP Activity; one-time costs and/or start-up costs, and external factors (e.g. currency fluctuations) will have an effect on the reported values that may be difficult to isolate. For these reasons, other mandatory Indicators - including objective, service-specific output measures - should accompany this indicator and support a more holistic analysis wherever possible.
