Food items distributed (MT)

This indicator measures the specific types of food commodities distributed (e.g., rice, lentils, cooking oil, fortified flour) and the corresponding quantities (expressed in metric tonnes) delivered to beneficiaries. If possible, it should be disaggregated by the item type.

“Weight” is measured in kilograms (kgs) or in metric tonnage (MT) of a specific item in its original packaging or kitting unit.

Calculation: This indicator is a sum of the total quantity (in MT) of each food item distributed to beneficiaries during the reporting period.
