Major Management Challenges and Program Risks: U.S. Agency for International Development. Performance and Accountability Series. (January 2003)

摘要

This report addresses the major management challenges and program risks facing the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as it works to carry out its foreign economic and humanitarian assistance programs. The report discusses the actions that USAID has taken and that are under way to address the challenges GAO identified in its Performance and Accountability Series 2 years ago, and major events that have occurred that significantly influence the environment in which the agency carries out its mission. Also, GAO summarizes the challenges that remain and further actions that GAO believes are needed. This analysis should help the new Congress and the administration carry out their responsibilities and improve government for the benefit of the American people. In its 2001 performance and accountability report on the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), GAO identified important management issues facing the agency. The information GAO presents in this report is intended to help sustain congressional and agency attention on continuing to make progress in addressing these challenges and ultimately overcoming them. This report is part of a special series of 23 reports on government wide and agency-specific issues.
