FOREIGN ASSISTANCE: Effectiveness and Accountability Problems Common in U.S. Programs to Assist Two Micronesian Nations

Abstract

In 1986, the U.S. government entered into a Compact of Free Association (Compact) with the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Under the Compact, the United States was authorized to provide federal programs, such as grants, services, technical assistance, and loans to the two nations. The United States was also authorized to provide aviation, disaster relief, postal, and weather services.1 The cost of program assistance extended to the two countries was about $700 million for the period beginning in fiscal year 1987 and ending in fiscal year 2001.2 The United States designated the Department of the Interior as the agency responsible for coordinating and monitoring these federal programs, loans, and services.
