As part of its annual workplan, the Office of Internal Audit conducted an audit of WFP’s fleet management that focused on the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023. The audit team conducted the audit fieldwork phase in the first quarter of 2024 at WFP headquarters in Rome; through specific field visits to the WFP Ethiopia, Cameroon, and Democratic Republic of the Congo country offices; through surveys and interviews with 11 country offices; and through a review of related corporate processes across WFP.
Light and armoured vehicles support WFP operations and programme delivery. As of 31 December 2023, with a total acquisition value of USD 129 million, WFP’s fleet comprised 3,028 light vehicles and 417 armoured vehicles in 95 countries worldwide.
In 2025, the centre will hand over its light vehicle acquisition and leasing operations to the United Nations Fleet (UN Fleet), a partnership jointly funded by WFP and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees that will provide fleet services to all UN organisations.
Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit reached an overall conclusion of some improvement needed.
