Special Report
The auditors conclude that humanitarian aid to the populations affected by conflicts in the African Great Lakes area was generally managed effectively by the Commission.
The funding was allocated to well-established main priorities, but there was insufficient clarity at a later stage when further specifying priorities and selecting projects. It was not possible to determine whether the most suitable projects had been selected.
Overall, the Commission’s monitoring was appropriate, although it could have made better use of the information it obtained. Finally, taking into account the particular challenges faced in the region, most of the projects examined delivered satisfactory results.
