Exchange Programs

Observations on International Educational, Cultural, and Training Exchange Programs Gao ID: T-NSIAD-93-7 March 23, 1993

In response to congressional concerns about the proliferation of U.S. government-funded international educational, cultural, and training exchange programs, this testimony (1) provides an inventory of such programs; (2) provides information on potentially duplicative, overlapping, or fragmented programs; (3) assesses the extent of program coordination and oversight; and (4) identifies legal requirements that may be inhibiting their flexibility in responding to rapidly changing requirements. GAO discusses 16 agencies, which reported spending about $660 million for 80 exchange or training programs serving 41,000 people in fiscal year 1992.
