Outcomes and Achievements: The RRDPO Capacity Building Training successfully enhanced staff capacity in multiple operational and technical areas essential to effective humanitarian programming. The training produced the following key outcomes and achievements: 1. Strengthened Understanding of FLA Obligations and CBT Implementation: Staff improved their knowledge of WFP requirements for Cooperating Partners, including key areas such as FLA obligations, amendments, HR and finance management, reporting protocols, and CBT coordination. This ensures better alignment with donor expectations and program efficiency. 2. Enhanced Rapid Assessment and Hotspot Targeting Skills: Participants gained clear guidance on rapid assessments and hotspot identification, including roles and responsibilities. This has led to more structured and evidence-based targeting in emergency-prone areas. 3. Improved CFAC Formation and Community Engagement: The training reinforced the importance of forming inclusive Community Feedback and Accountability Committees (CFACs), especially with female participation, while also addressing challenges and reinforcing the Code of Conduct. 4. Better Targeting and Verification Procedures: Staff were trained on updated vulnerability criteria, targeting processes, and beneficiary verification steps. This will support fair, transparent, and needs-based beneficiary selection. 5. Technical Proficiency in SCOPE Registration: Through live demonstrations, staff developed hands-on experience with the SCOPE registration process, improving data collection accuracy and registration efficiency. 6. Effective Distribution Management: The training covered FDP site selection, setup standards, layout planning, and visibility, which will enhance the quality and safety of future distributions. 7. Reinforced Gender, Protection, and Inclusion Commitments: Staff deepened their understanding of RRDPO’s responsibilities in delivering safe, inclusive, and accountable programs, promoting dignity and protection of all beneficiaries. 8. Increased Preparedness for Natural Disasters: The disaster risk management session provided practical strategies for anticipating and responding to natural emergencies, boosting field-level readiness. 9. Operationalization of Contingency Planning and Helpdesk Management: Staff are now more capable of activating contingency responses and managing community complaints through helpdesk systems. 10. Assurance in Food Safety and Quality (FSQ): The FSQ training equipped staff with knowledge of food testing procedures, quality control checklists, and reporting, ensuring compliance with safety standards. 11. Awareness of BMGF Activities: Participants received an overview of BMGF interventions, aligning their understanding with broader program goals. 12. Improved Warehouse Management Capacity: The session helped enhance logistics and stock management skills, contributing to improved inventory control and food security measures. 13. WFP/TPM rolls and responsibility in WFP overall activities 7. Challenges Faced: - Limited time for in-depth discussion of some topics - Internet/connectivity issues for remote staff 8. Recommendations: • Conduct refresher trainings every 6 months • create a training tracking system to monitor staff development and identify future needs • Develop internal learning materials and SOPs • Encourage on-the-job mentoring by senior staff • Organize specialized sessions on advanced tools (e.g., Kobo, Excel trackers for M&E and Distribution) • Conduct regular refresher trainings on FLA, CBT, HR, finance, and reporting • Develop trained teams for rapid hotspot assessments and targeting • Enhance CFAC functionality with focus on female inclusion and accountability • Standardize and update beneficiary verification and targeting procedures • Improve staff capacity on SCOPE registration through practical demos • Strengthen FDP planning, setup, and visibility standards • Mainstream Gender, Protection, and Inclusion across all programs • Increase preparedness for natural disasters through drills and training • Standardize contingency response and helpdesk operations • Ensure food quality through regular FSQ checks and field tests • Raise awareness of BMGF project goals and reporting needs • Improve warehouse management and inventory control 9. Conclusion: The capacity building training for RRDPO staff, conducted under the 2025–2026 institutional strengthening initiative, successfully equipped participants with critical technical knowledge, operational strategies, and compliance frameworks essential to program implementation. Covering a wide range of thematic areas, the training aimed to enhance staff understanding and performance in line with WFP requirements and organizational objectives. Key operational components such as FLA obligations, amendments, and CBT implementation were thoroughly discussed to align RRDPO’s programming with donor expectations, particularly in HR, finance, reporting, and coordination. Sessions on hotspot response and CFACs formation emphasized rapid assessments, targeting, community inclusion—especially of women—and the importance of upholding the code of conduct at community levels. Participants were introduced to updated vulnerability criteria and beneficiary verification practices, helping ensure that targeting processes remain fair, accurate, and contextually appropriate. Hands-on SCOPE registration demonstrations provided staff with a practical understanding of digital beneficiary management. The training also reinforced best practices in distribution management, including FDP setup and standards, along with our commitments to gender, protection, and inclusion—promoting safer and more accountable programming. Modules on disaster preparedness, contingency response, and helpdesk operations equipped staff with tools to manage emergencies efficiently. In addition, FSQ training strengthened technical skills in food safety, quality control, and reporting. Sessions on BMGF activities and warehouse management further contributed to a holistic understanding of RRDPO’s operational scope. TPM (Third Party Monitor) Responsibilities: Conduct independent monitoring and field verification, Collect and validate program data, Ensure quality assurance and compliance, Report findings to WFP with recommendations, Support informed decision-making by WFP.
