AID Needs To Strengthen Management Of

Commodity Import Programs




AID spends half a billion dollars a year to
provide developing countries with the dol-
lars needed to import essential commodi-
ties. Local currencies generated from the
sale of these commodities also are made
available to the recipient governments for
developmental purposes. AID's planning,
monitoring, and evaluation of the program
should be improved and controls over com-
modity expenditures strengthened.

GAO recommends specific actions to im-
prove management of commodity import
programs, including additional guidance for
planning and evaluating these programs
and monitoring their implementation.
