USAID should ‘rethink its culture of partnership with implementers,’ inspector general says
WASHINGTON — U.S. Agency for International Development Inspector General Ann Calvaresi Barr on Thursday called for a rethink in the way the agency works with implementers and outlined several key management challenges that are preventing the most efficient and effective use of its funds.
Barr spoke at a House Appropriations State and Foreign Operations subcommittee hearing focused on mismanagement at USAID and the State Department, which gave members of Congress an opportunity to get an update from the offices charged with oversight of U.S. foreign aid.
At the hearing, Barr gave a readout of the key management challenges for USAID that the IG had identified for fiscal year 2019: managing risk in humanitarian and stabilization assistance, analysis and planning around country capacity to ensure sustainability, reconciling interagency priorities and the integrity of its financial and information systems, Barr said.
USAID has responded to some of the IG recommendations and in some cases made foundational changes, including strict requirements for implementer awards, stronger standards for overseeing U.N. agencies, shoring up a commodities supply chain, promptly responding to identify diversions of funding to terrorist organizations, and focusing on requirements for reporting sexual exploitation or abuse of beneficiaries, she said.
Despite that “the agency needs to rethink its culture of partnership with implementers. No doubt they are critical to USAID’s mission but it must first ensure implementers fully understand the requirements that they are entrusted with and expected to carry out. Ultimately USAID must be the first line of defense but they must also hold others they rely on accountable,” Barr said.
In June 2017, the IG’s office released a memorandum outlining “potential areas of concern” about the contract’s financial protocols that “may expose the program to possible fraud and abuse.”
At the hearing, Barr said the IG’s office has uncovered a number of risks associated with the logistics of delivering lifesaving health products, storage facilities, and record-keeping. Its audits into the contract and into challenges in Africa’s global health supply chain are ongoing. Thus far the investigations have led to 41 arrests and 30 indictments and led the global health bureau to have a third party monitor overseeing health supply commodities in eight African countries.
These people seem willing to play ball for a paycheck.
Some of them will play ball for our side, once they feel a tap on the shoulder by the FBI, and when made aware that what they chose to see and not to see has become known by the Bureau and perhaps was not lawfully kosher.
Her job description was one that must have had some oversight of a lot of what went blatantly rotten during Obama rule. Foreign aid, humanitarian aid, corporate interests, protecting “resources”, etc. Obama and Hillary were dedicated to that mission.
Barr IG came on, in 2015.
Haiti-type crap and CF laundering gazillions, preceded her, but charitable enrichments continued, trading gazillions back and forth, all disguised as “aide” and “resources”, charitable corporate “assistance” to the “less fortunate “ around the globe.
If IG Barr girl has been “flipped”, she gets to serve as a resource herself, for delivering a trove of evidence about which she probably never peeped a word, before. Evidence must have been all over the places where she served and from where she came from as she advanced.
For QAnon to mention her, maybe she’s been inducted into patriotism. Or.... Maybe.... she is a Whistle Blower. Sounds like a Witness scenario is really possible. Whadaya think? Maybe?
