Internal Audit of WFP Operations in Kenya - May 2022

As part of its annual workplan, the Office of Internal Audit conducted an audit of WFP operations in Kenya that focused on beneficiary management, cash-based transfers, supply chain, monitoring and a tailored review of country strategic plan implementation, human resources, and budget management processes. WFP’s work in Kenya, as defined in the 2018–2023 Country Strategic Plan, aims to provide food security to refugees and vulnerable Kenyans; support national and county government institutions in building capacity and systems to assist food insecure and nutritionally vulnerable people; and provide supply chain services, including humanitarian aviation, for partners operating in the country. The country strategic plan has an overarching objective to accelerate WFP’s shift from the direct provision of transfers and services to the strengthening of national systems and capacities to deliver food and nutrition security. Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit reached an overall conclusion of some improvement needed.
