Review of USAID’s Internally Displaced Persons Programs in Pakistan
Recommendations
USAID/Pakistan develop and award a procurement instrument to provide third-party monitoring and evaluation services to assist mission technical offices in implementing internally displaced persons programs, other mission programs, and in-country Washington-based programs such as those carried out by the Offices of Foreign Disaster Assistance and Food for Peace.
USAID/Pakistan require the Government of Pakistan to provide quarterly expenditure reports for internally displaced persons disbursements and a list of payments totaling $44 million made to internally displaced persons.
USAID/Pakistan verify the use of funds from the quarterly expenditure reports and the list of internally displaced persons and confirm that the Government of Pakistan provided funds to at least 140,000 families as a result of this cash-transfer program.
USAID/Pakistan conduct spot checks on and evaluations of the effectiveness of the cash-transfer program.
