As part of its annual workplan, the Office of Internal Audit conducted an audit of WFP's operations in Jordan that focused on beneficiary management, cash-based transfers, monitoring, supply chain, finance, and a tailored review of cooperating partner management. WFP Jordan’s Country Strategic Plan 2020–20221 was formulated with the Government of Jordan to support refugees; strengthen the national social protection programme; and provide technical and financial support to national institutions. Through the Country Strategic Plan’s four main strategic outcomes, WFP has continued to rebalance its portfolio towards supporting Jordan and its national priorities. In 2021, WFP provided food assistance to 1.2 million Jordanians and refugees in communities and camps. As in previous years, unconditional cash transfers and electronic food vouchers were WFP’s main activities in 2021, amounting to USD 175 million and accounting for 96 percent of all resource transfers. Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit has come to an overall conclusion of effective/satisfactory.
