|
UNIT OF MEASUREMENT & ANALYSIS | Depending on the type of assets under consideration, the quantity is expressed in hectares, kilometers, or numbers. |
DEFINITION | This indicator measures the type and quantity of natural and physical assets built, restored, or maintained by households, groups or communities to improve their livelihoods and/or their natural resource base. Out of this group, this indicator also keeps track of assets submitted for and verify by remote verification (AIMS). The objective of assets measured by this indicator depends on the Strategic Outcome under which the corresponding activity is implemented. This way assets contributing to SO1 “Effective emergency preparedness and response” support crisis-affected populations to receive emergency assistance that meets urgent needs and saves lives. Assets contributing to SO2 “Reduced needs and enhanced resilience to withstand shocks” reduce exposure to impact of shocks and stressors, strengthen resilience to natural disasters, and contribute to long-term livelihood and environmental benefits. The Food Assistance for Assets Programme Guidance Manual provides a thorough list of assets (10 main groups) which are organized in three detailed output indicators): T.10.1: Hectares of land irrigated, managed, rehabilitated or cleared
T.10.2: Kilometers of roads and flood management infrastructure
T.10.3: Number of community infrastructure, gardens, water points, bridges and culverts_
Below are some key definitions for each group: Hectares of land irrigated through newly established or rehabilitated infrastructure, limited to community gardens, orchards, and irrigated cropland This detailed output indicator measures the hectares of agricultural land hydrated by newly established or improved irrigation systems, as well as newly established or rehabilitated group gardens and orchards supported by irrigation. It covers both small-scale crop or mixed crop-horticulture farming and small-scale group horticulture farming initiatives. Please note that to avoid double counting, this group includes any land supported by irrigation. Hectares of land managed through afforestation and/or reforestation practice This detailed output indicator measures the total hectares of land managed through afforestation, reforestation, area closures, and coastal mangrove restoration, rather than counting the number of seedlings planted. Hectares of land rehabilitated, reclaimed and/or conserved through soil and water conservation practices This detailed output indicator measures the number of hectares of degraded farmland, rangelands, hillsides, and other marginal areas that have been rehabilitated, reclaimed and/or conserved to enhance livelihoods and strengthen the natural resource base of households and communities. This group excludes land supported by irrigation. Total area cleared from rubble, debris, mud, etc. following shocks, disasters, conflict, etc. (Hectares) This detailed output indicator measures the extent of disaster‑affected areas such as land, infrastructure, and public facilities that have been cleared and made functional again following events like cyclones, landslides, and earthquakes. It reflects the removal of debris, mud, silt, rubble, and other obstructions that hinder access and essential services. The indicator captures clearance activities that restore water flow and drainage systems, remove collapsed structures around key facilities, reopen roads and access routes, rehabilitate silted agricultural land, and reduce the risk of secondary hazards such as flooding. Km of feeder roads, community access roads and trails rehabilitated and/or constructed This detailed output indicator tracks the construction and rehabilitation of access infrastructure, including community access roads, feeder roads, and footpaths, to improve connectivity and support local development. Kilometers of flood management infrastructure rehabilitated and/or constructed This detailed output indicator measures the total length (in kilometers) of flood protection and water management structures, including dikes, treated riverbanks, hillside stabilization works, and drainage systems. These interventions aim to reduce flood risks, prevent erosion, improve land productivity, and support sanitation. Number of community infrastructure rehabilitated and/or built This detailed output indicator tracks the number of community infrastructure facilities constructed or maintained to support community development, livestock management, and rural connectivity. Number of household and school gardens established and/or rehabilitated. School and household gardens are small-scale plots designed to grow fruits, vegetables, and other multipurpose plants, supporting nutrition, education, and food security. Number of water points (ponds, shallow wells, weirs, dams, boreholes, etc.) constructed and/or rehabilitated This detailed output indicator tracks the number of water infrastructure systems constructed, rehabilitated, or maintained to improve water access, support agriculture, and enhance drought resilience. Number of bridges and culverts rehabilitated and/or constructed This detailed output indicator measures the total number of small bridges and culverts that are built or rehabilitated to improve safe mobility, enhance climate resilience, and support year‑round access to basic services and markets. Submitted assets (AIMS): Correspond to the subset of assets built/restored or maintained that has been presented by COs for AIMS verification. Verified assets (AIMS): They correspond to a subset of assets built, restored or maintained with WFP support, for which their existence and area in hectares can be confirmed through remote verification (AIMS). This information only applies for assets groups measured in Has and Kms (groups 1 to 5 and 10) that were submitted for COs for AIMS verification. New Assets. Refers to assets built/restored/submitted/verified by AIMS during the reporting year. Existing Assets. Refers to new assets reported in previous years of the same CSP, that during the current reporting year are also reported as assets maintained/ submitted/ verified by AIMS. Additional information on FFA asset definitions can be found here. |
RATIONALE | This indicator tracks the scale and type of community infrastructure and ecosystem restoration assets created, rehabilitated, or maintained through WFP’s and partners’ activities. It provides a quantitative measure of physical outputs generated by interventions such as soil and water conservation structures, irrigation systems, community access roads, flood-control works, water schemes, and other livelihood-supporting assets. The indicator is essential for demonstrating how programme activities contribute to strengthening community resilience and improving household livelihoods. By capturing the number and type of community infrastructure and ecosystem restoration interventions, it allows programmes to:
The indicator is grounded in the principle that well-designed community and household assets reduce vulnerability and strengthen resilience. Assets such as water-harvesting structures, rehabilitated land, improved irrigation, and community storage facilities:
By measuring asset creation and maintenance, the indicator captures the foundational work that enables households and communities to become more food secure, more resilient, and less dependent on emergency assistance over time. This indicator supports WFP’s Resilience and Climate Change Policy by tracking the number and type of community and household assets built, restored, or maintained through programme activities. The creation and maintenance of assets is reported by cooperating partners and, to the extent possible, also submitted and verified using HR satellite imagery to confirm that the physical structure exists at the reported coordinates. |
DATA SOURCE | Data on this indicator can be extracted from the implementation of reports of WFP’s Cooperating Partners. WFP staff may also provide data in case of direct implementation. Since most assets are built, restored, or maintained as joint efforts with partners, it is important that reporting captures both WFP’s specific contribution and the type and nature of the partnership. For instance, a report on labour-based community access road activity supported through food assistance should include the person/days worked, the km of road constructed/repaired and the number of villages/communities benefiting from the activity, as well as partners’ contributions to the activity such as construction materials, tools, etc. For detailed options regarding AIMS submission and verification, the primary data source for this indicator is the asset information submitted by Country Offices (COs) for remote sensing verification & monitoring. This includes the asset’s location in decimal degrees, boundaries (required assessment of biophysical indicators), asset type, and implementation year, recorded in the AIMS DataBridges module. These inputs allow AIMS analysts in HQ to identify the asset area and carry out remote monitoring. Biophysical conditions are assessed using satellite imagery and Earth Observation (EO) datasets routinely processed by AIMS, harnessing infrastructure in the Geospatial & Intelligence Unit. These data enable verification of whether an asset is visible from space and that confirmation is provided by the AIMS HQ team to the COs as inputs for their use and inclusion in corporate reporting .No additional fieldwork is required from COs for this standard remote‑sensing analysis. |
INDICATOR CALCULATION FOR REPORTING | The values (planned and actuals) are displayed in the annual corporate report for each of the 10 groups, as applicable. For corporate recording, each group will report on 3 values, number of assets supported, number of assets submitted for AIMs monitoring, and number of assets verified by AIMs. To calculate the planned or actual value for each group COs should use and aggregate the values provided in the completion reports from implementing partners reporting for each group. As some assets can apply to more than one group, the same asset should not be counted more than once within or between assets groups. Please refer to the definition above to identify under which group the asset should be reported. Actual values for columns C to F are calculated by AIMS analysts and provided to the COs based on their inputs and submitted assets. |
DATA ENTRY AND DISAGGREGATION IN CORPORATE SYSTEMS | Each reporting year, data is entered into COMET Other output plan (Planned) and Completion Reports (Actuals) for all applicable asset groups. The indicator has a list of three detailed indicators, including one or more groups: T.10.1: Hectares of land irrigated, managed, rehabilitated or cleared T.10.2: Kilometers of roads and flood management infrastructure T.10.3: Number of community infrastructure, gardens, water points, bridges and culverts It is mandatory to report a value for at least one detailed indicator and item if the indicator was selected in the Logframe. The applicable groups and unit of measurements are displayed in the table below.
As per explained in the definition section. Asset built/restored/maintained are divided in two groups (columns A/New and B/existing). Column A captures new assets built/restored during the reporting year. Column B captures existing assets maintained during the reporting year that were built/restored and reported in previous years of the same CSP. Likewise submitted assets for AIMs verification are disaggregated in two groups (columns C/new and D/existing). Column C refers to new assets submitted for AIMs verification that were built or restored during the same reporting year. Column D refers to existing assets submitted for AIMs verification that were built or restored in previous years of the same CSP. Verified assets are equally disaggregated between new and existing (columns E and F). Column E refers to verified assets that were built/restored during the reporting year while column F refers to assets built/restored in previous years of the same CPS that remain visible and verified by AIMS. Data entry in each column should be validated when entered into COMET to comply with the following rules:
|
PLANNED FIGURES | In the Other Output Plan, a planned value is required for columns A and B (see Section on Data Entry and Disaggregation in Corporate Systems). The planned values for AIMS are aspirational targets which correspond to the values inserted either in column A or B:
For each subsequent years, the planned figures can be revisited in the first quarter of the current reporting year considering actual performance in the previous year. |
FREQUENCY OF DATA COLLECTION | Frequency varies depending on the assets built, restored or maintained, but is based on agreed frequency of completion reports with the corresponding partnerships. Completion Reports are aggregated once a year for corporate reporting but could be also monitored during the year to confirm progress of the activity. AIMS figures will be provided to COs by the HQ AIMS team as soon as available and they need to be included in corporate reporting once a year. |
INTERPRETATION | An increase in outputs may reflect strong operational capacity, effective community mobilization, favorable seasonal or environmental conditions, and well‑sequenced programme planning. A decrease, however, does not necessarily indicate poor performance; it can be the result of climatic shocks, limited access to sites, resource constraints, or intentional shifts in programme focus factors that are common in landscape‑based and community‑driven interventions. Understanding these contextual dynamics is essential for determining whether progress aligns with programme objectives and annual targets. A sound interpretation also relies on disaggregating results by asset type, ecological zone, and implementation modality, as land restoration, community structures, and livelihood‑support facilities behave differently across contexts. Ensuring comparability between similar categories and clearly distinguishing between construction, restoration, and maintenance helps avoid misinterpretation or inflated achievements. When results diverge from planned values, a concise, evidence‑based explanation should be provided. Reporting should highlight areas where WFP’s contribution has been particularly significant or innovative, while recognizing that these indicators capture only direct outputs, not broader environmental, ecological, or livelihood impacts. Providing this context strengthens programme learning, supports informed decision‑making, and enhances the design and planning of future restoration and community‑based interventions. Regarding AIMS figures, verified Asset groups measured in Kms can be considered as existing assets that have been objectively confirmed, when referring to assets built or restored during the same year. They can be considered as maintained assets when verified in the reporting year but built/restored in previous years of the same CSP. Maintained assets measured in Has require additional verification and analysis to be reported under the LCI outcome indicator. |
REPORTING EXAMPLE(S) | In 2024, in Neravon, WFP’s FFA activities supported communities in restoring their natural resource base and developing key assets that strengthen and sustain agricultural productivity. Key achievements included:
36,960 individuals received capacity strengthening training in various aspects of livelihoods, infrastructure development, environmental management |
INDICATORS COLLECTED & ANALYSED AT THE SAME TIME | To assess the medium- and long-term effect of the output results, it is recommended to report on the following outcome indicator: |
VISUALIZATION | N/A |
LIMITATIONS | The indicator is an output level indicator providing only a count of the assets created. It does not specify how many people Benefit from the created assets. In case of large discrepancies between planned and actual value should be explained in reporting. The indicator provides quantitative information on implemented activities but not their impact on beneficiaries or the environment. For impacts on beneficiaries, see the Percentage of population in targeted communities reporting benefits from an enhanced livelihoods asset base (ABI) indicator, and for environmental impact, see Percentage of supported assets that demonstrate improvement in biophysical conditions as verified through remote monitoring from space. |
