1.0 Award Summary

The FADREC-II project is a food security intervention in the Kamonia territory of the Kasai

province in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The project's objectiveproject's objective is to

contribute to alleviating hunger through monthly food distribution and building community

resilience by engaging the beneficiaries in agricultural activities.. The FADREC-II project was

funded by the USAIP/FFP and implemented by ADRA. USAID/FFP provided a total of 4,457 MT

of food commodities that was transferred to identified beneficiaries. The intervention spans over

12 months (October 2019 – September 2020) and took place in the Kamonia territory. The period

covered in this report spans from October 2019 to September 2020. The project targeted 17,025

HH's (102,150 beneficiaries) in the health areas of Mayanda, Mungamba, Mukuanjanga, Katopa,

Muyombo, Tshimeya, and Sala-Mbote, providing food commodities (Maize Meal Flour, Beans,

Vegetable Oil and Iodized Salt) together with agricultural seeds and tools:

Some of the key achievements during FY 20 include;

• Recruitment and staffing of the various positions as required by the project design.

• Successful procurement and transportation of food commodities to the food distribution points (FDPs)

in the field.

• Distribution of food commodities to 102,150 individuals in six health areas in the Kamonia territory.

• Distribution of 4,456.79 MT of food commodities to targeted beneficiaries

• Establishment of 15 field demonstration plots to train 11,228 beneficiaries on acceptable agricultural

practices (GAP).

• Baseline, PDMs, and Endline data collection were conducted during the life of the project

• Monthly and Quarterly meetings held to review and improve on service delivery to beneficiaries

Key implementation challenges include;

• Transportation of items to the various distribution sites due to poor roads.

• Internet connectivity at the field level.

• Beneficiary's expectation to register more members of the family as more people return to

the project implementation areas.

• Unpredictable weather conditions which impacted on-field activities.

FFP Emergency Food Assistance

Objective: The objective of FADREC-II was to contribute to alleviating hunger through the provision

of food assistance to displaced, returned, and expelled Congolese and their host families.

Geographical location: This project was executed in Kamonia Territory of Kasai Province in the

Democratic Republic of Congo

Number of Beneficiaries Targeted: 102,150 beneficiaries (17,025 HHs);

Beneficiaries Reached during the FY 20: 102,150 beneficiaries [14,173 HHs1]

2.0 Output Reporting

The FADREC-II initiative targeted a total of 102,150 (17,150HHs) individual beneficiaries who

were either returnees, internally displaced, or evictee Congolese. The project team worked with a

detailed implementation plan (DIP) to guide activity implementation to achieve set targets. During

this period, the project distributed 4,456.307 MT (Full Ration -2,452.126, Half Ration-2,004.181

MT) of food commodities to all 102,150 beneficiaries as planned. A total of 14,172 beneficiary

Households (HHs)es also received agricultural seed (97.91 MT)) and tools (14,172 hoes) to

contribute to households' resiliency. Additionally, 11,228 beneficiary HHs received agricultural

training [The project was unable to train all 14,172 households receiving seed and tools because

of the unavailability of some households during training sections]. Annex 6.4 presents the

beneficiaries reached disaggregated by the vulnerability status. Additionally, annex 6.6 further

shows the number of unique and direct beneficiaries disaggregated by age. Table 1 below also

presentsthe total number of beneficiaries reached disaggregated by sex.

During the first quarter (Oct-Dec 2019–FY 20), 78,998 beneficiaries from FADREC-I were assisted

(received the last basket of full ration). However, these beneficiaries were reported in the FY-19 ARR

as having received part of their rations during FADREC-I. Additionally, 61,815 out of the total

beneficiaries from FADREC-I received support from the FADREC-II initiative which have been

counted in the 102,150 individuals supported

Table 1: Number beneficiaries reached with GFD (by month)

1 Household size was seen to have increased. This has led to the reduction in the total number of household reached.

Monitoring visits from the team showed that beneficiaries have planted their fields and applied most

of the lessons learnt from the demonstration sites (eg minimum tillage, planting in rows, timely

harvesting). The Agricultural team also continued to work with village Agricultural Monitors who

follow up on beneficiaries farms to ensure replication of training in the demonstration gardens. They

provide the necessary on farm backstopping to participating beneficiary households especially those

who were not able to take part in the trainings.

Monitoring visits during the fourth quarter also revealed that a total 1,330 Kg of amaranth and

cabbage was harvested by beneficiaries as at the time of visit. Also, the just ended evaluation found

that beneficiaries were able to cultivate and harvest the various seed received. The average yield for

the area is as follows, [Maize-426.40Kg/Ha, Beans (cowpea) - 298.80Kg/Ha, Cabbage-225.00Kg/Ha,

Spinach-159.70Kg/Ha, Onion-215.17Kg/Ha and Amaranth-275.5Kg/Ha]

3.0 Outcome and Process Reporting

During FY 20 (October 2019 – September 2020), the FADREC-II intervention carried out a

baseline study to establish benchmark values against which progress will be measured, 12 PDMs

to track monthly/quarterly performance and an endline data collection (at the writing of this report,

the endline data points and final evaluation report have not yet been finalized.) to measure the

overall progress of key food security indicators. Annex 6.2 shows values of indicators collected at

the baseline ,and the various PDMs undertaken. , Key processes were tracked to allow for the

realization of outputs and outcomes. Also, 15 demonstration plots were established to train 11,228

beneficiaries on good agricultural practices. A total of 1,5462 complaints were received during

the life of the project, 779 of these complaints which were directly related to FADREC-II were

resolvedtogether with the complaints management committees established in the field.

These complaints varied from:

• Request for food assistance for the new evictees from Angola or new arrivals in the area; as well

as registration of those in transit

• Stolen or lost LMMS cards

• Request for farm inputs;

• Request for diversification food (occasionally vary the type of beans)

• Inadequacy of half ration rations as a result of increased dependency on housejold allocations

The project continued to coordinate the resolution of complaints with the community CRM

committee

So far, ADRA/FADREC-II has not received any complaints of alleged fraud, waste, or beneficiary

abuse. As part of the start up, ADRA trained staff on protection and safeguarding (PSEA). ADRA

has a feedback mechanism that beneficiaries can use to report any fraud or abuse ( eg the compliant

hotline, suggestion box etc) ADRA/FADREC-II through its activities has developed a cordial and

community driven approach in its implementation. Beneficiary complaints received are treated with

importance and resolved promptly to the satisfaction of beneficiaries. ADRA also engages the local

community complaint committee in resolving complaints at the field level.

One finding taken from PDMs that informed project implementation was that of complaints and

feedback mechanism. ADRA through its monitoring activities identified beneficiary complaints as a

subject of prime importance, ADRA therefore continue to prioritize the prompt resolution of all

complains received. ADRA also realized working with the beneficiary complaints committees at the

local/community level has aided in promptly addressing and resolving identified concerns. PDM

findings have also been used continuously to shape and improve distribution activities. Distribution

processes which made beneficiaries to report feeling safe and comfortable at distribution sites were

strengthened while other observations such as timing at the various sites have been improved.

Further outcomes on learning and processes will be shared through the program final evaluation and

final results report.

4.0 Market Local Regional and International Procurement (LRIP) and Modality Actuals

A total of 4,456.79MT of food commodities was procured and delivered to the various Food

Distribution Points (FDP) in the field for onward distribution. Food commodities were mainly

sourced locally except for iodized salt (from China). Food commodities were sourced from

wholesalers and retailers who were identified through the laid down competitive bidding processes

of the firm. Seeds and tools were also sourced locally in DRC ( Maize, Beansm Amaranth,

Spinach) , Ungada ( Onion & Cabbage). Commodities/seeds were received in good quality which

passed through the various handling and management processes to ensure quality was maintained

until delivery at the field level. The project over its life distributed a total of 4,456.306 MT of food

items to 102, 150 individual beneficiaries as planned.

The origin for the salt is Namibia and not China.

The project also tracked price changes of key commodities within the Kamonia territory. The

Kamonia market is the market identified for monitoring commodity price changes as it is the

primary market that serves the locality. Annex 7.8 highlights the prices of essential food

commodities over the period. It can be seen from the table that the market registered a significant

drop in the prices of vegetables (amaranth, okra, and Matembele/sweet potato leaves) in relation

to the previous quarter. This, however, can be attributed to the bountiful harvest experienced

during the season coupled with the closure of the borders to trade due to the onset of COVID-19.

There were other key changes in commodities such as local rice, which traded at 2500 FC before

the COVID-19 is now at 3000 FC. There is also an increase in the price of maize flour, which

traded at 800FC but is now trading at 1400FC, prices of beans also moved from 2500FC before

COVID-19 and now is trading at 3500FC.

Price surveillance of the Kamonia market didn’t reveal significant price fluctuations which could be

attributed to the presence of the FADREC-II distribution and agricultural activities. Comparing

information gathered to secondary data from the area- (CIAD)3 and also taking a closer look at the

monthly prices of the various commodities shows a fairly stable price throughout the period except

for some other commodities (some commodities not distributed by FADREC-II) which performed

otherwise.

An in-depth market assessment/performance will be conducted at the beginning and end of the

FADREC-III intervention to highlight key learning.

It also was observed that the production activities did not significantly affect prices. Amaranth

however also was observed to have dropped further from CF 275.00 in quarter 3 to CF 103.3 in

quarter 4.

5.0 Cross Cutting Elements

During the commencement of the FADREC-II project, stakeholder workshops were held at both

the country and field level to enable key partners understand its goal, implementation modality

and approaches as well as the various roles of all stakeholders. Community entry activities were

taken further to engage the primary beneficiaries/communities' leaders to explain the project, its

activities and the process of participation, entitlements, rights of every family member, and the

modalities to be used for commodity distributions.

This participation has ensured accountability and participation by all household members

including the youth, as some of them have been present in the distributions. ADRA also ensures

gender related concerns and identifies the vulnerable (Elderly, Sick, child headed household)

beneficiaries by giving them priority during the distributions.

The project adhered to Protection, Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) principals and ensured

the safety of beneficiaries at the various distribution and agriculture sites. The Feedback

Mechanism was used and strengthened [by sensitizing the CRM committee members on the

processes and the importance of handling beneficiairy complaints promptly] to ensure that

beneficiary concerns were duly addressed. ADRA has also realized that there are underlying ethnic

differences in many operational areas and subsequently used each forum/platform to bring the

message of peaceful coexistence. While there are rumors of tribal or ethnic discomfort in and

around the project sites, ADRA has continued to ensure everyone is served without partiality

upholding its organizational motto of Justice, Compassion and Love.

Additionally, in the wake of the global outbreak of COVID-19, the team implemented the various

COVID-19 mitigation and preventive measures. Apart from adhering to the regulations imposed by the

government and the WHO, ADRA also put in place the following to guide the implementation of its

activities:

▪ Decongesting of the distribution sites by serving one village at a time and or serving one family

unit at a time.

▪ Establishing temperature-monitoring and hand-washing stations in all distribution sites for regular

hand washing.

▪ Ensure that beneficiaries keep the required social distancing (1.5 meters) by tracing on the ground

for ease of adherence to the requirements.

▪ All the staff at the distribution sites used the required PPE's during the distributions;

▪ Beneficiary sensitization and awareness creation on COVID-19.

6.0 Challenges, Success and Lessons Learned

The following include some of the critical challenges noted during the year under review,and

lessons that were learned.

6.1 Challenges

• The continuous breakdown of the vehicles due to the rugged terrain posed challenges as it

interfered with the transportation of the goods and services, which affected timelines of various

activities. [Strict adherence to scheduled periodic servicing of the vehicles and compliance

to the distribution plans developed helped in mititgating this observation]

• The long distances over which produce/commodities are transported from Kinshasa coupled

with the unpredictable weather conditions sometimes interfered with the distribution timelines.

[Transport services have been encouraged to ensure their trucks are in good conditions to

avoid breakdown during transport from Kinshasa to Tshipa. All trucks transporting food

commodities and seeds had tarpulins and ohther covers to secure and protect it in the event

of rain]

• Lack of field secondary depots that can store large quantities of commodities forced the project

to conduct ex-camion4 distributions. [Since there are no secondary warehouses at the field

level, effective planning was done to ensure that food commodities are distributed to target

beneficiaries as soon they they are delivered on the field]

• Influx of unregistered neighboring populations at distribution sites requesting assistance.

• An increase in family members within registered households after the registration period meant

that each family's ration was not adequate.

• Beneficiaries regularly reported lower satisfaction with half-ration food commodity basket

during PDMs, while satisfaction with quality remained high. [The project continued to

sensitize beneficiaires on the difference between Full and Half rations and the hpouseholds’

entitilements]

Findings from the PDMs helped ADRA/FADREC to improve on distribution activities and

transparency to beneficiary households. Through ADRA’s observation and beneficiary compliant

the supplier was informed on the quality of beans ( the longer time it took to cook). Subsequent

distributions/PDMs did not record those complaints. With regards to ration quantity, the PDM found

out that beneficiary complaints on quantity increased with Half Ration distributions. The team

further explained and sensitized beneficiaries on their various entitlements with regards to the

quantities and the differences in the Full Ration and Half Ration.

6.2 Lessons Learned

The FADREC-II project has learnt and documented a number of lessons during the FY under

review. These lessons have been incorporated into activity Implementation and has helped in

shaping the overall project implementation towards achieving desired results.

• The project identified that beneficiary issues/concerns raised are significant and critical to

beneficiaries and, therefore, under no circumstances should we undermine their concerns. All

complaints must be addressed fairly and promptly according to the CRM protocol.

• The PDM has been one of the critical approaches that have provided the project with regular

periodic information that has helped take proactive and preventive decisions were necessary

to shape activity implementation to achieve desired results.

• The project needed to increase sensitization on the program design and explain the shift from

full rations to half rations and intent to supplement rations with food from planted seeds.

• The use of the KoboToolbox has improved efficiency and data quality as it introduces various

data quality checks in the programming and the design of the forms. Remote data monitoring

and supervision functionality have also allowed for substantial control and input into the daily

plan of the field activities.

• The use of the LMMS beneficiary data management system has helped successfully manage

and execute beneficiary distribution plans (registration, validation, and distributions). The

LMMS system has made it possible and convenient to retrieve stored beneficiary information

readily. Data quality and protection (use of validation/ skip logic) has been assured through

the use of the LMMS system.

6.3 Successes

The FADREC-II implementation approaches and strategies/collaborations have resulted in key

lessons and successes. The project has documented these and will leverage on the lessons,

experiences and success to smoothen and scale up the implementation activities of FADREC-3 in

achieveing desired results.

• The FADREC-II project's continued collaboration with the SECAL (Food Security Cluster)

made it possible to leverage resources and share key information necessary for the smooth

implementation of activities within the context of emergency support. Additionally, ADRA’s

lead on the Nutrition Cluster on behalf of UNICEF in Kasai supporting the coordination of the

activities of the various partners within the province. This has put ADRA in a position of

influence in terms of providing not only data, trends, and coordination of nutrition activities

but also gives ADRA the possibility to advice on nutrition needs.

• A well-coordinated transportation plan for commodities from Kinshasa to Tshikapa and to the

various Food Distribution Points has helped in mitigating earlier identified challenges with

transportation.

• A dedicated team both in Kinshasa and in the field to undertake distributions under challenging

conditions (weather, lack of potable water and even food, etc.) in the rural villages and

continual capacity building has made it possible for the project's success.

• Beneficiaries greatly value and appreciate the food assistance provided by the intervention.

Households have been seen to utilize the food items received to improve their feeding needs.
