Audit Reports

In line with its strategic goals and objectives, WFP delivers life-saving and development-enabling work that benefits the poorest and most marginal people – those in greatest need. To achieve this, beneficiary targeting plays a central role in all WFP operations. It informs every aspect and the entire duration of the WFP programme cycle from initial problem and vulnerability analysis, to needs assessment, programming adjustments, monitoring and finally evaluation. Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit has come to an overall conclusion of partially satisfactory / major improvement needed.

As part of its annual work plan, the Office of Internal Audit conducted an audit of WFP operations in Uganda that focused on the period from 1 January 2018 to 30 September 2019. Expenditures for the audit period totalled USD 316 million. The audit team conducted the fieldwork from the 11 to the 29 November 2019 at the country office premises in Kampala, and through onsite visits to several field locations across Uganda. Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit has come to an overall conclusion of partially satisfactory / some improvement needed.

Ethiopia represents a unique operational context for WFP. The Government of Ethiopia is by far the most important humanitarian actor and development investor in the country, defining and leading all policy processes, institutional structures, and organizational arrangements at federal, regional, and sub-regional levels. As is true for all humanitarian and development partners, WFP’s activities and support for the Government are delivered exclusively in partnership with Government agencies, within defined boundaries, with strong implications for autonomy of action and enforcement of key standards of accountability and risk management. Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit has come to an overall conclusion of partially satisfactory / major improvement needed.
