Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, U.S. Agency for International Development Implemented More than 80 Percent of Recommendations from SIGAR Audits and Inspections

Abstract

Over the five-year period since our 2014 report examining USAIDs implementation of SIGAR recommendations, SIGARs Audits and Inspections directorate made 201 recommendations in 68 reports to USAID. Of the 201, USAID implemented 167 recommendations, 22 were open, and only 12 were not implemented and closed. About 90 percent of the 201 recommendations were intended to enhance contract oversight or improve program effectiveness. The recommendations resulted in $66 million in funds put to better use and called for USAID to review and recoup, as appropriate, more than $87 million in questioned program costs. The implementation of our recommendations also helped USAID hold contractors accountable for completing required work and led to improved safety conditions for infrastructure projects.
