WFP letter to NGOs on COVID-19 - April 2020

As highlighted in a letter to their partners, WFP asked their Country Offices to above all use flexibility and simplification to ensure business continuity. "This includes increased flexibility in existing agreements to reprogramme and shift resources into the most affected locations and most urgent activities, and fast-tracked procedures for negotiating and revising agreements. We are also encouraging simplified oversight and monitoring procedures such as desk reviews, remote monitoring and electronic document exchanges instead of onsite spot checking, for instance, to avoid the risk of transmission."
