WFP. Statement on the reports by the Joint Inspection Unit

19 February 2025. First regular session of the WFP executive board 2025.

| Rome, Italy

Thank you, Madam President.

Norway welcomes the Joint Inspection Unit’s report and the Management’s response.

Let me underscore that Norway fully supports the Joint Inspection Units mandate. The success of their work relies on the board’s engagement on the substance of JIU reports and our endorsement of recommendations for implementation. This is a role we take seriously because we believe JIU’s work is vital to improve governance and accountability in the UN organizations, and coordination and efficiency across the UN system.

The board's role is to ensure that the organization considers and acts on the recommendations from JIU. Norway fully supports all the recommendations in the JiU report at hand.

Thank you.
