Under Strategic Outcome 1, WFP monitors coverage and quality to ensure that emergency assistance reaches the right people at the right time.
Outcome indicators measure progress in food security, reduced reliance on negative coping strategies, recovery from acute malnutrition, and support for national preparedness, anticipatory action and macro-insurance.
Output indicators track the scale and timely delivery of assistance through anticipatory action before shocks and through early action immediately after shocks. Additional quality dimensions – such as the nutritional adequacy of rations – are addressed through cross-cutting priority indicators.
This section has 7 corporate outcome indicators and 7 corporate output indicators:
