A copy of a draft report by UNDP’s office of audit and investigations, dated November 2020, described “financial misstatements†worth millions of dollars across UNDP’s portfolio of GEF-funded projects around the world.
The report highlighted problems including signs of “fraudulent activities†at two country offices and “suspicions of collusion among the various project managers†at another, without naming the countries.
