Review of the Millennium Challenge Corporation's Compact with the Government of Mali
Recommendations
Decide how to use the $1.3 million advance guarantee deposited into MCA-Mali's bank account and allocate or reprogram these funds to specific project activities within the compact for better use.
Establish a plan to monitor the $4.7 million obtained by MCA-Mali related to the ASHTROM contract for proper funds segregation and to avoid commingling with regular operating funds, and to facilitate accountability.
Establish a debarment and suspension program to identify and prevent certain contractors with known performance problems from bidding on Millennium Challenge Account program contracts.
Debar ASHTROM to prevent it from winning any future Millennium Challenge Account contract awards.
