It also included tailored reviews of cash-based transfer, in-kind delivery, partnerships and finance. The audit covered the period from 1 January to 31 December 2025. During this period, WFP’s direct operational expenses in Lao PDR were USD 19.2 million, reaching approximately 332,000 beneficiaries.
