Reforming the Economic Aid Program Gao ID: T-NSIAD-93-20 July 26, 1993

The Agency for International Development (AID) has entered the 1990s unprepared to meet the management challenges facing it. This testimony, which draws on a June 1993 general management study of AID (GAO/NSIAD-93-106), describes many long-standing management problems that have prevented AID from effectively implementing the foreign aid program. GAO provides evidence that AID's organization became so diffused that it often appeared to operate as a loose affiliation of independent miniagencies, each with its own agenda, procedures, and management systems.
