Internal Audit Report of WFP Operations in Haiti - August 2022

As part of its annual work plan, the Office of Internal Audit conducted an audit of WFP's operations in Haiti that focused on beneficiary management, cash-based transfers, monitoring, supply chain and finance, and a tailored review of the management of humanitarian access. In its Country Strategic Plan for 2019-2023, WFP Haiti adopted an integrated approach along the humanitarian–development nexus, delivering direct assistance to crisis-affected and vulnerable people, strengthening smallholders’ access to markets and building their resilience, and supporting national institutions and partners to achieve the country’s 2030 Agenda. Since its inception in 2019, the Country Strategic Plan has been regularly revised to reflect increasing needs due to the deteriorating food security situation in Haiti. The situation continued to worsen in 2021, and successive budget revisions have expanded food assistance to shock-affected populations. The budget of the original Haiti Country Strategic Plan has more than doubled, from USD 199 million to USD 469 million, and planned beneficiary numbers have increased from 1.47 to 2.88 million. Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit has come to an overall conclusion of major improvement needed.
