The BUSBE project aimed to revisit the management of funding sources in WFP and determine how best to appropriately align funding to activities in regional bureaux, country offices and headquarters divisions. Through a bottom-up approach, the project aimed to deliver recommendations for planning and budget teams to align funding with operational priorities in a consistent and efficient manner. In addition, it was intended that better allocation of funding sources for activities would bring transparency and improve accountability to stakeholders.
