Ethiopia represents a unique operational context for WFP.
The Government of Ethiopia is by far the most important
humanitarian actor and development investor in the
country, defining and leading all policy processes,
institutional structures, and organizational arrangements
at federal, regional, and sub-regional levels. As is true
for all humanitarian and development partners, WFP’s
activities and support for the Government are delivered
exclusively in partnership with Government agencies,
within defined boundaries, with strong implications for
autonomy of action and enforcement of key standards of
accountability and risk management. Based on the results
of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit has come to an
overall conclusion of partially satisfactory / major
improvement needed.
