Internal Audit of WFP Operations in Sierra Leone - March 2023

As part of its annual workplan, the Office of Internal Audit conducted an audit of WFP operations in Sierra Leone that focused on a defined set of controls for small country offices covering governance, beneficiary management, cash-based transfers, supply chain, monitoring and non-governmental organization management. The audit also performed a limited review of fuel management as well as gender and diversity. The work of WFP in Sierra Leone, as defined through the six strategic outcomes of the Country Strategic Plan for 2020–2024, aims to provide life-saving assistance and nutrition to severely food-insecure people, support school feeding programs and smallholder farmers, strengthen capacity and improve the humanitarian response through the delivery of common services in-country. Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit reached an overall conclusion of major improvement needed.
