BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES

AID And Universities Have Yet

To Forge An Effective Partnership

To Combat World Food Problems

In 1975, the Congress under Title Xll ( sec-
tions 296-300 ) of the Foreign Assistance Act
directed the Agency for International Develop-
ment (AID) to improve and strengthen the
involvement of U.S. land-grant and other eli-
gible universities in solving food problems in
developing countries. Progress in achieving
this goal is slow.

U.S. universities and AID have yet to forge
the development partnership necessary to
effectively reduce world hunger. Policy and
management actions are needed to overcome
attitudinal and institutional barriers which
limit the potential benefits of such a partner-
ship. The quality of technical assistance pro-
vided to developing countries can be im-
proved if AID takes the actions recommended
in this report.
