As part of its annual workplan, the Office of Internal
Audit conducted an audit of WFP operations in South Sudan
that focused on beneficiary management, supply chain,
budget management, non-governmental organization
partnerships, humanitarian access, and monitoring. WFP’s
Interim Country Strategic Plan, 2018–2022 for South Sudan,
aims primarily to assist vulnerable people affected by
conflict, displacement, weather-related or economic
shocks, or serious illness to meet their food and
nutrition needs. In non-conflict areas, WFP promotes
enhanced resilience for smallholder farmers through
livelihood activities. In addition, WFP provides air
transport and coordinated logistics services to
humanitarian partners to ensure the delivery of assistance
to remote, hard-to-reach areas. Based on the results of
the audit, the Office of Internal Audit reached an overall
conclusion of some improvement needed.
