8. Oversight and Performance Audits
Source – WHO
• Internal audits in the past have show
issues with effectiveness of programs
and/or oversight
• All donors should be asking for more
performance audits as part of
assessing the effectiveness of WHO
programs
• An annual audited risk management
report should be provided including
assessing global risk, crisis
management, etc.
• More work needs to be done in terms
of using data sciences and analytics as
part of managing various programs
with WHO

 This is a lot of money to spend on travel. You would
think an organization that focus on disease
management would put restrictions on travel, right?
 Woeful spending on travel by WHO is another
indicators that WHO needs to be reformed!
