As part of its annual workplan, the Office of Internal
Audit conducted an audit of WFP operations in Kenya that
focused on beneficiary management, cash-based transfers,
supply chain, monitoring and a tailored review of country
strategic plan implementation, human resources, and budget
management processes. WFP’s work in Kenya, as defined in
the 2018–2023 Country Strategic Plan, aims to provide food
security to refugees and vulnerable Kenyans; support
national and county government institutions in building
capacity and systems to assist food insecure and
nutritionally vulnerable people; and provide supply chain
services, including humanitarian aviation, for partners
operating in the country. The country strategic plan has
an overarching objective to accelerate WFP’s shift from
the direct provision of transfers and services to the
strengthening of national systems and capacities to
deliver food and nutrition security. Based on the results
of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit reached an
overall conclusion of some improvement needed.
