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.
